an early stage Building Information Modeller
for the rest of us, mere mortal architects
a little bit goes a lot further
Have you walked away...
TAD originated at a small architect's office in India in 1989. It is a different approach to BIM (Building Information Modelling) from what you may have seen elsewhere. It is based on fundamental architectural research. It is not a software
that was derived from other engineering fields and then modified to suit architects.
Since it is so much in touch with what architects really do, it is extremely efficient in doing it. The file-sizes of this BIM software are literally in kilobytes.
At the same time it has extensive querying capabilities. The architect can actually get objectivity from quite early on -- almost from the bubble-diagramming stages. For example; quantities, area calculations, municipal (local government)
calculations and so on. Such capability can even be extended using add-ons (probes)
I know the TAD system quite well, and it is an improvement on BIM in that in enables imprecise models to be represented to a far greater extent than BIM does. This is not surprising, since TAD is actually developed for architects and for architectural design, while BIM is developed for the AEC industry broadly and is now essentially a standard (via IFCs) for the industry and architects use it for design for reasons of productivity (for the same bad reason that they were consumers of AutoCAD back in the day).
When designing, we need to be in touch with the various spaces we use. After all, we are not termites -- who live inside built matter of the walls. An architect is quite interested in knowing how the spaces are inter-related, and whether they
would work for our users. The walls come as a bye-product of having made these spaces.
TAD respects such an approach. That is why it is very easy to start designing directly in TAD itself. It is like having a scratch pad handy.
But if you think this is just a bubble diagramming too ... well, it is not. You can even create the entire model; including the built matter that is present in the building.
What it does NOT do is drafting. For that, you can easily export from TAD and use the regular CAD software that you were using earlier.

The west wall has a bit of glass blocks. It not just lights up the space
but it drives the air inside the stack. This is a intricate vertical space
that goes through the row house to provide ventilation -- all modelled
inside TAD
TAD helps you iteratively design. Like a potter at work. At any point in time, you can extract objective information such as areas, distances and so on. What is the point of designing a building only to realize at the final stages that some
mathematical criteria was not right?
This capability of querying into the design is very powerful. TAD has a built in language called "ARDELA" (ARchitectural DEsign LAnguage) That can be used to create add-ons to provide additional querying functionality. These add-ons probe into
your model and provide you answers.
We would be releasing a marketplace for these probes -- and also a simple way for you to write your own probes too
The adjoining photo, a small gazebo kind of space was carved out on the
terrace on one part of the split-level in the rowhouse. An ARDELA area
add-on (probe) did all the calculations. We were then confident that we
can get that semi-enclosed space, without it being counted by the municipality
(in India, these area calculations are known as FSI calculations)

The standard guidance remains: Support the artists and rights holders by purchasing legitimate copies where available. The Blu-ray, when obtainable, offers superior video quality, lossless audio, and the full slate of special features—all while ensuring that creators receive their due compensation.
The meticulously recreated Joseon-era architecture, sliding paper doors, calligraphic screens, and manicured gardens serve as both a beautiful backdrop and a physical manifestation of the characters' confinement.

For the uninitiated, Untold (often confused with the 2002 horror flick The Untold ) is a peculiar artifact of the early 2000s direct-to-video boom. It sits squarely in that weird intersection of post-9/11 paranoia thriller and Y2K sci-fi schlock. It isn’t a "good" movie by Oscar standards, but for lifestyle collectors who crave the smell of uncirculated plastic and the thrill of the hunt, it is legendary .
The film relies heavily on traditional Korean architecture, utilizing sliding paper doors ( hanji ), wooden screens, and expansive courtyards to create a sense of voyeurism. A Blu-ray transfer provides the necessary contrast and black-level depth to see characters lurking in the shadows or spying through partitions, emphasizing the theme that someone is always watching. 3.

The 2003 South Korean film Untold Scandal (조선남녀상열지사) remains a landmark achievement in East Asian cinema. Directed by E J-yong, this psychological romantic drama adapts the classic 1782 French novel Les Liaisons dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. By transplanting the French aristocratic malice into the rigid, highly conservative landscape of the late Chosun (Joseon) Dynasty, the film creates a brilliant contrast between outward etiquette and inward corruption.
Let's keep the conversation going!
For cinephiles wishing to experience the film's stunning cinematography in the best possible quality, the standard definition of DVD simply doesn't do it justice. The vibrant, color-saturated world of Joseon aristocracy demands a high-definition presentation.
Set in a rigidly conservative Joseon society, Untold Scandal opens on a decadent aristocratic household where boredom is the greatest enemy. Lady Cho (Lee Mi-sook), a cynical and manipulative noblewoman, makes a dangerous wager with her charming, free-spirited cousin, Jo-won (Bae Yong-joon). The bet is simple: Jo-won must seduce and sleep with Lady Jeong (Jeon Do-yeon), a young widow renowned for her unwavering virtue and chastity for the past nine years, as well as with a 16-year-old girl, So-ok, who is destined to become Lady Cho's husband's concubine. The wager carries a potent prize—if Jo-won succeeds, Lady Cho will finally yield to his long-standing desires. Whether you are a devotee of historical dramas

The film swept through domestic and international film festivals, earning praise for its sharp script and lavish costume design. It won Best Actress (Lee Mi-sook) at the Korean Association of Film Critics Awards and took home structural awards at the Busan International Film Festival, showcasing that Korean cinema could handle period adaptations with immense contemporary sharpness.

Upon its release in 2003, Untold Scandal was both a commercial success and a critical darling, drawing over 3 million admissions in South Korea alone. A Bold Departure for Bae Yong-joon
For far too long, we architects have not asked ourselves how we may do a better job in this world. Instead we just relied on some outside expertise and hand-me-downs. Let us rise and think for ourselves.
