Alfonso Monedero

BIM Manager at Heatherwick Studio

Alfonso is an architect leading BIM implementation in Heatherwick Studio. He has vast international experience in Spain, India, Chile and UK. Having worked as project architect and Head of Design in a leading practice in Chile, he decided to move to a more technical role after observing how technology skills, or the lack of them, influence and limit design creativity, and affect project outcome.
Alfonso started collaborating with Heatherwick studio in 2015 as BIM consultant, after successfully implement BIM in several projects, he moved to Woods Bagot to work as Design Technology Manager for the London office. In 2018 he came back to Heatherwick to continue the BIM implementation, a design driven studio.
His goal is to embed BIM in the design phase without limiting or hindering the design process.

Alfonso has given talks about Digital Design workflows and the implementation with the design process in BILT in US and UK.

    27 February

  • 14.30  - 15.15
    Many times in singular projects BIM and design are disconnected during early stages, not developing in parallel, making BIM a tedious task to comply instead that a collaboration methodology and full adoption is delayed until after concept stage We know how rigid Revit can be when it comes to geometry, and we know how inefficient can be to use CAD tools instead of BIM platform During concept stage when the idea behind a singular project is constantly evolving and the geometry is muting to adapt to the changes, the ideal scenario would be to have the flexibility and freedom of a platform like Rhino, and the automation and reliability of BIM software This presentation shows how to plan, create and implement a workflow process that allows you to translate any geometry into BIM components, with the adequate information required for a concept stage The points we will focus on are divided in three different fields, strategy, management and coding Strategy -Establish the goals to achieve with the BIM model -Think beyond obvious, aim to achieve a lean model -Define your interoperability strategy depending on your requirements Management -Plan ahead your deliverables and prepare them beforehand -Adapt your modelling standards to achieve a smooth transition Coding -Create your scripts, test, use, implement, analyse, improve and start the process again -Start where you feel comfortable and evolve your script as your skills progress
