A Design Celebration Rooted in Practice
On December 17, 2025, designers from architecture, interior design, MEP engineering, and the broader industry gathered for an exchange platform that brought diverse professional roles back to the core of design and practice.
Through the convergence of project presentations, jury perspectives, and first-hand practical experience, the event fostered in-depth discussions on workflows, design thinking, and cross-disciplinary integration.
BIM × AI is not merely a set of tools, but a shared language that connects design, construction, and future development—signaling the industry’s gradual shift toward more mature and collaborative modes of practice.
AI × BIM: Designing the Next Era
This professional publication is structured around AI × BIM as its core framework, approaching digital tools from the perspective of design practice to rearticulate their roles within architecture and interior design. Centered on the concept of “building the structural framework with data and driving the soul through computation,” the book explores how AI and BIM simultaneously respond to both the rational structure and the intuitive judgment inherent in design.
The content provides a comprehensive overview of the development of AI × BIM, with a particular focus on the practical application of inferential design. Rather than limiting AI to image generation, the book guides designers toward a data-driven mode of thinking, positioning AI as a secondary cognitive engine that supports design decision-making and process evaluation. Covering integrated AI × BIM workflows, data-chain construction, and real-world case studies, the ultimate goal is to translate technology into actionable methods that can be directly applied within professional projects.
Judges' comments
The crucial moment of moving from tool application to design judgment
The jury unanimously noted that this year’s submissions have clearly moved beyond the question of whether BIM can be used, and instead demonstrate a mature understanding of information structure, classification logic, and integrated design thinking. In many projects, information flows consistently throughout the entire design process, forming a solid foundation that supports subsequent decision-making and design development.
The jury further emphasized that with the integration of BIM and AI technologies, designers are increasingly able to focus on spatial thinking and design judgment, rather than being constrained by technical operations. Over the next decade, design competitiveness will be defined by the ability to integrate technology, data, aesthetics, and cross-disciplinary communication.
This event is therefore not merely an evaluation of projects, but an important dialogue pointing toward the future of collaborative workflows and the evolving role of designers.
