What are the principal advantages of creating a conceptual design model using masses before diving into the detailed design and building element modeling?
In my opinion it gives you a quick access to one of the most important measures of a construction project, the construction area, with this you can calculated the cost, schedule and scope of the project in a very high level.
Should all buildings be modeled first using conceptual masses?
I will recommended it for very abstract and complex projects, to the point it gets more complex and try parametric design using Dynamo.
Can you think of any examples of a real building around the world that most likely was created by exploring the form using conceptual mass models?
Beijing National Stadium, also known as Bird’s Nest. In my opinion, imposible without playing with masses.
