Reply To: Digital twin in non-operational phases – what is your opinion?

Hi Glen – Thank you for your response, it is so very informative! I am aware most literature focuses on operational use (and some on construction, indeed), but best approach to Twins is probably to get them involved a lot earlier on in the project. As you said, the silos of data is a killer for Twins and for the potential a Twin can present. Which is why I am focusing on how can the Twin be involved a lot earlier on (if you’re familiar with RIBA Stages, then stages 0-4. Can it influence design? Spatial coordination? Perhaps prototyping with costing attached? Forecasting? How exactly would it look like? 

Many thanks for engaging.

Regards,

Astrid
