In the construction industry

Now, after the last couple of years of file-based BIM development, the first signs of an immersive spatial web environment are starting to appear in the form of HSTP. HSTP is the next step in the evolution of data transfer protocols in applications for handling objects and actions in space. With HSTP, we can create a network of connected spaces with reliable access to immersive and temporal context. Some call it Web 3.0, others call it the “metaverse.” Meta, Magic-leap, and Apple are already investing billions in these ideas. Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro headset controlled by just a few apps seems crazy now. Then again, in 2007, a $500 phone without a keyboard was treated the same way.

, there is already a term for digital entities: digital twin. But it has become a clumsy description of a phone number spain concept that has not yet been fully developed. Many perceive digital twins as a result that occurs during the construction stage of an object, which can then be used for effective operation. But if Web 3.0 becomes a reality, then digital twins will cease to be the end result, but will turn into a reflection of every moment in the construction process in real time. And they will be more like a digital mirror than a twin. At the same time, the volume of contextual data about decisions made will be overwhelming. Most likely, an individual specialist will not be able to process it alone, so he will need help.

The integration of artificial intelligence using “game theory and physics” with the capabilities of the HSTP protocol can provide architects with unique tools and knowledge for the conception, development and management of architectural projects. AI algorithms combined with HSTP spatial data can process huge amounts of information in real time. This will allow architects using next-generation BIM programs to gain a more detailed understanding of site conditions, environmental factors and human behavior and make more informed decisions at the design stage, optimizing the placement and orientation of buildings in space, as well as their impact on the environment. For example, a wooden beam placed in a project will “know” that it obeys the laws of the real world and has indicators of mass, inertia, bending moment, as well as a service life and affects the cost of the project and its environmental status. And artificial intelligence will constantly offer the designer the most optimal solution.

Perhaps most importantly for BIM design, the dynamic nature of spatial AI allows architects to analyze how objects change over time. This knowledge allows architects to create designs that not only respond to current conditions, but also adapt to change. BIM models will be able to simulate and visualize how buildings will function under a variety of scenarios, giving architects a full understanding of the long-term impact of their designs.

Combined with existing AI-based BIM tools to relieve humans of routine modeling and document creation tasks, such as at our company Skema Inc, where architects can focus on more creative and complex aspects of design. This will not only increase their efficiency, but also reduce the likelihood of errors, leading to better quality projects.

One of my favorite movies, The Fifth Element, suggests that after fire, water, wind and air, the universe beyond the earthly sphere is filled with a transcendental Fifth Element, which in medieval times was called the Aether. Perhaps the integration of AI with HSTP in BIM software can become the new Aether, an example of how architects are rethinking architectural practice by offering BIM 3.0 solutions that create more intelligent, adaptive and sustainable environments.
