I read Martyn Day's AEC Magazine cover story on Thursday. By Friday afternoon I had four working prototypes. Martyn's piece - "The Agentic Future of BIM" - picks up exactly where my BIM 3.0 post left off last week. His argument: BIM was built to produce documents. Agentic AI needs something it can actually reason over. Those are different things, and no amount of cloud delivery fixes it. So I built against it. Four prototypes, each one testing a different proposition from the article: 1. Geometry as code - a floor plate defined by rules, not drawn. Change the site boundary, setback, or target area and the geometry updates automatically. No one redraws anything. 2. Declarative rule engine - minimum corridor widths, room adjacency, egress distances - live in the model as rules, not checked separately weeks later by someone in Solibri. 3. Model as state - the building accessible via API. Read it, modify it, query its history. No file sent back and forth. 4. Multi-agent loop - four agents running at the same time on the same model: one making layout changes, one resolving clashes, one checking compliance, one tracking cost. No handoffs. No waiting. Two years ago none of this was a realistic weekend project. Now it is - which tells you something about where things are headed. More on each one over the next few weeks.
