Today’s edition of the Arizona Republic includes a great overview of Hunt’s innovative use of Building Information Technology on the CityScape project in downtown Phoenix. CityScape is the first project in North America to utilize the BIM software known as ArtrA.

Created by ArtrA Inc. as part of AEC Design Group based in Gathersburg, MD, ArtrA is unlike anything currently in use in North America as it goes well beyond 3-D building modeling. For a better understanding of the capabilities of ArtrA and how it is being utilized by Hunt, be sure to check out our BIM overview.

Hunt chose CityScape as the flagship project for the software because of the nature of its construction. The facility is a core and shell project which makes testing the software easier and allows for tweaking for use on more complicated projects – such as the Marlins New Ballpark in Miami, FL.

Be sure to check out the full article for a rundown on Artra and the many benefits it offers to both the construction team and the owner.
