not quite there yet

Computer use in architecture has made impressive strides over the past several decades. However, we are a long way from where we could be. Here are my observations:

1. BIM needs to be incorporate more multidimensional programming features, including constructability and energy modelling analysis.

2. Software interfaces need to get more user friendly with multiple pathway options for inputs.

3. Output documentation should skip the formal paper set. A release date can be chosen for a model for a building project, and subsequent changes can be tracked on an in progress or as-built basis.

4. Prefabrication and analysis layers can be built in, but I doubt that a traditional shop specialty reconfiguration can be bypassed.
