BIM Technology for Poniente Residential

“Residencial Poniente”, designed by the architecture and design studio Maese Luis 24 (ML24), is a complex of 166 residential units and complementary areas in the city of Córdoba, Spain. This project has been the studio’s first practical and real application of BIM technology using Archicad.
Located in a consolidated urban environment and offering many services, the architects have proposed a complex that has significantly improved the environmental quality of this part of the city.
