Module 6 - Points to Ponder

What are the principal advantages of creating a conceptual design model using masses before diving into the detailed design and building element modeling?

This allows for very quick realization of ideas. Instead of going through the process of creating every floor and element in revvit, for a large scale project like this where the overall mass is the characterizing feature, it makes a lot of sense to just skip to the large scale and determine that efficiently off the bat.

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?

I would expect something abstract like the apple world headquarters was likely decided from the mass first, and then built up into program and plans.
