UNStudio and Bjarke Ingels Group have partnered with Squint/Opera to develop SpaceForm, a virtual, cloud-based platform that facilitates design, review, and collaboration processes for architects and developers. The new virtual workspace developed for the architecture and construction industry aims to fill a gap by creating a viable and sustainable way of collaborating and designing remotely across global teams, thus reducing the need for travel.
SpaceForm is the first online platform that allows for immersive design reviews with clients. It uses gaming technology similar to Fortnite and also supports data sharing with commonly used 3-D software like Rhino 3D, Revit, Sketchup, Unreal to create a 3D multi-user platform for presenting designs and digital twin data in real-time.
The platform’s prototype was developed in 2018 by the creative studio specialized in digital media Squint/Opera and has subsequently been improved based on the feedback of architects and designers. Building on the extensive collaboration experience of UNStudio and BIG, the workspace helps design teams and stakeholders communicate more effectively, improving the decision-making process.
The use of immersive, real-time gaming technology in the built environment opens up new ways to explore and engage with the unbuilt world. Real-time environments allow people to feel what a space might be like, after it’s built, minimizing any error or dissatisfaction from the client.
