Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the perception that exists about the adequacy of the use of BIM authoring tools for the early stages of design of architectural projects. The research is based on the analysis of theoretical reflections on the creative process and its relations with digital design processes, followed by a more specific focus on the use of BIM. It also proposes an exploratory investigation in the context of the architecture market of Belo Horizonte (MG) by means of semi-structured interviews with expert users of BIM, analyzing the main issues raised in theoretical research: the protagonism of sketches and the limits and possibilities of exploration of BIM tools for conception.
