The Cadalyst piece delves deep into the nuances of conceptual design automation, underscoring how forward-thinking architecture firms like TVS are collaborating with software developers to integrate automation into the conceptual design phase. This integration not only reduces the hours spent on mundane and repetitive tasks, but also empowers designers to channel their energy into more creative “high impact” moments. Adoption of software like Skema presents a win for both firms and clients, allowing for more rapid prototyping of different layouts and configurations, and faster iterations in a project’s early stages.

A standout mention in the article is TVS’s collaboration with Skema, an innovative software developed by Atlanta-based Blue Ocean Sustainability. Skema isn’t just another design tool; it’s transformative. By harnessing data from past projects, Skema offers a dynamic platform to accelerate the conceptual design phase, and is on the cusp of some major updates (we’d share them, but we’re sworn to secrecy!). With industry veteran and Revit pioneer Marty Rozmanith as CTO, Skema is set to redefine how architects and interior designers approach design, doing so in a way that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows. By providing a conceptual design environment coupled with a BIM automation engine, Skema enables the generation of editable BIM data that can be easily used downstream in the design process – in other words, it fits into the way we already work.

TVS Forays into Design Automation with Skema

Skema gives Architects a path to embrace design automation while leveraging the inherent value locked in the BIM systems used by a majority of firms globally.

Skema focuses on repetitive work in an architectural practice, offering designers easy-to-use tools that run on a web browser. The significant reduction in time Skema achieves in delivering a LOD350 BIM model gives architects a major advantage in driving the shift to modular construction across the industry’s highest growth segments. 

1- Data Integrity
In Skema, the work performed during conceptual and schematic design isn't lost or discarded. Instead, once the process moves into Design Development and Construction Documents, a boost in production is realised with zero data and time lost to the process.  

Our customers are saving weeks and months of rework because of the Skema workflow.  

2- BIM Reuse
There are elements of BIM that lend themselves to AI & automation, specifically the highly repeatable design elements that have been well-defined in past projects. Even the most complex designs have highly repeatable interior elements. 

Modern building methods are forcing architects to provide more and higher levels of design detail earlier in the process. 

The Skema workflow produces high integrity models that owners, builders, and developers can trust.

Designers at TVS used FenestraPro to locate and define the density of  shading and glazing frit patterns for  the optimal distribution of shading 
values required by the building code.  While collaborating with engineers in  the CD stage of the project, tvsdesign utilized FenestraPro to determine 
how frit patterns and glazing types would impact the overall energy performance of the building while still meeting code compliance. Read more on the case study here: https://www.fenestrapro.com/case-studies/tvs-case-study-identify-frit-patterns/.

FenestraPro is a high-performance facade design tool that supports the design and construction of beautiful, high-performing buildings. As the facade can typically influence more than half of a building's operational energy use, FenestraPro supports architects to design sustainable solutions towards net-zero carbon initiatives.

Key features include: 6D real-time rendering, BIM modeling, Energy analysis modeling, glass-to-wall ratio, passive considerations of envelope design, shading solutions
