Arup is known worldwide for being at the cutting edge of engineering and design development in the built environment. Building information modelling is at the heart of all the firm's projects. As Arup team members Ken Goldup, Zak Kostura, Tabitha Tavolaro and Seth Wolfe explain, flexibility is particularly important when establishing a workflow for those that involve complex programmes or irregular geometries: being able to transfer data between platforms can be crucial to optimising the design. Their argument is illustrated by two recent Arup projects in the United States: an airport terminal and a Manhattan subway transit hub.

具有建筑信息模型的高级工程：为复杂建筑的设计和文档建立灵活的框架

奥雅纳（Arup）在建筑环境中处于工程和设计开发的最前沿而闻名于世。建筑信息建模是公司所有项目的核心。正如Arup团队成员Ken Goldup，Zak Kostura，Tabitha Tavolaro和Seth Wolfe所解释的那样，在为涉及复杂程序或不规则几何体的工作流建立工作流时，灵活性尤其重要：能够在平台之间传输数据对于优化设计至关重要。最近在美国的两个Arup项目说明了他们的观点：机场航站楼和曼哈顿地铁枢纽。
