Abstract: This paper will provide insight into the use of new workflows for the design and construction of architecturally driven footbridges. One of the key components of the workflows is the use of the Building Habitats object Model (BHoM), an open-source common object definition that is agnostic of any software. The primary use of the BHoM in the workflows is to allow data transfer to and from multiple finite element analysis (FEA) packages. In addition to this, the BHoM Engine is utilised to derive structural models from architectural models. The three projects presented demonstrate the applicability of programmatic workflows to various stages and types of design. A value-added analysis is included to evaluate the direct benefits on projects when implementing such workflows such as automating labour-intensive processes. The analysis also includes the indirect benefits such as the inherently better quality of models, better collaboration with architects and a more efficient design.
