Architectural DesignAugust 1, 2016

Peter Gluck uses an analogue version of BIM, which he calls Architect-Led Design-Build (ALDB). He has been outspoken about the traditional divisions between architecture and construction and how post-occupancy is understood. His firm GLUCK+ regularly enters into contracts to both design and build their projects, and is increasingly involved in the operational activities of their completed buildings in the years following client occupation, becoming an example of a DBO architectural practice. Since the design team leads the entire process, from concept to construction completion, team members can analyse, interpret and respond to post-occupancy issues with immediacy.
