Introduction to BIM Software: Digital Project
With over 15 years of experience, Gehry Technologies has effectively integrated advanced digital technologies into architect Frank Gehry’s construction projects. Collaborating closely with clients, they have shifted from traditional “drawing-based” methods to modern, digital design and construction workflows suited for the 21st century.
Digital Project is a robust 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) software developed and marketed by Kenli Technology. It functions as a comprehensive digital architecture platform that supports the entire project lifecycle—from initial design and project management to on-site execution. This software suite includes two primary products, Viewer and Designer, along with specialized modules such as Primavera Integration, MEP/Systems Routing, Imagine & Shape, Knowledgeware, Specialized Translators, and Photo Studio.
Based on Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA software platform from France, Gehry Technologies operates as a professional BIM service provider in the international market. It is important to note that Gehry Technologies does not sell the software directly; instead, usage rights are exclusively licensed to the construction clients they serve.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive parametric modeling with integrated control over building design surfaces.
