My project is to build a parametric BIM model of shipping
and transport college
Back ground
The building is not only because of
its location and view closely related to the Rotterdam port and shipping. The
building shape is also similar to a periscope. Furthermore in the interior,
with the use of maritime materials and the many references made to the shipping
in the detailing.
The building consists of an almost
rectangular core, a sixteen-storey tower, where above and below a sculptural
extension is applied. The substructure has three layers of general functions:
the entrance, the central hall, an exhibition space, gymnasiums, a large
cafeteria, a café and a bookshop and further workshops and simulation areas.
The student cafeteria with terrace has a large window towards the river. In the
basement two parking levels and a bicycle storageroom are located. The tapered
shape at the top is a lecture hall. This hall for 350 persons has a large
window on the west side overlooking the port. The hall is also used as a
conference room.
The concrete core gives stability,
the rest of the structure is prefabricated concrete. In the overhang a steel
construction is used. Part of the building is supported by a meandering
structure of welded steel tubes filled with concrete. The lecture hall is a
prefabricated steel structure and attached to the core by four large steel
trusses. The facade consists of a checkerboard pattern of blue and white
corrugated aluminum panels or glass. The elements are 3.60 to 3.80 meters. The
rugged facade refers to containers, important to the harbor of Rotterdam.
In
the mass, I build the building with some reference lines,
Window
families.
Almost
every facades of the building cover by curtain system. Because some surface of
the facade cannot be divided in horizontal line, I have to draw reference lines
myself and than intersection with surface where I want to create grid. I build
the curtain base on a curtain panel pattern base. And add some parameters to
control the family better.
BIM
model
After
loading mass into project, I found there is no floors in the building. That is
due to family is not a solid geometry but several surface. I copy several level
reference lines in east elevation. And also we need to use the lines to create
floor.
Renderings
In
the project I create a surface as the footprint of the building and stick grass pictures as the material of surface.
Critics
In
my opinion, REVIT combine the function of sketchup AutoCAD. We can use it as a
good design software.
