WRNS Studio

For this project WRNS used Revit and Dynamo for Modeling, and Lumion for making Renderings. They picked those tools because they were very flexible and allowed for the development of design and production of working drawings in one platform. There is seamless file transfer between Lumion and Revit using Live Sync, and using Dynamo was the way for automation and making complex geometries in Revit.

The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.

RFEM provides deformations, internal forces, stresses, support forces, and soil contact stresses. The corresponding add-on modules facilitate data input by automatic generation of structures and connections or can be used to perform further analyses and designs according to various standards.

Using UrbanForm, developers can filter properties that meet certain parameters--such as Zoning designation, Height Limit, available FAR, Lot Type (corner, thru, etc), and others. Currently, users can see the results of the filter parameters in real time, allowing developers and urban planners to visually understand how many lots fit certain criteria. 

Using UrbanForm you can view the most relevant zoning rules for any property. Search by address and find the most relevant zoning rules with lot-specific modifications, overlays, and exceptions baked-in.

Finding applicable zoning rules

UrbanForm aggregates relevant land-use regulations for all properties in a jurisdiction and makes the results accessible from any internet browser. Complex zoning that used to take hours or even weeks to calculate is now available instantaneously. UrbanForm allows anyone to search, filter, and compare properties based on certain parameters such as height limit, FAR, type of lot, or any other number of criteria.

FBR Limited (ASX:FBR) is an Australian robotic technology company developing and commercialising digital construction solutions to address global needs. The Company’s first application is Hadrian X®, a revolutionary robotic blocklaying machine and system.

FBR is pleased to announce that on Saturday, 11 July 2020, the Hadrian X® finished building the structural walls of its first display home in Dayton, Western Australia.

The Hadrian X® was deployed to the Dayton site on the afternoon of Tuesday, 7 July 2020 in preparation for commencement of building activities the following morning, and completed the structure in three and a half standard shifts.

First Display Home

COBOD

In July 2020, KampC unveiled the first two story house printed on site in Europe. The house is eight meters tall and has a floor area of 90 square meters and it is printed with Europe’s largest 3d concrete printer made by COBOD. You can find Flanders’ first 3D-printed model home on the premises of Kamp C in Westerlo, Belgium.

“What makes this house so unique, is that we printed it with a fixed 3D concrete printer”, says Emiel Ascione, the project manager at Kamp C. “Other houses that were printed around the world only have one floor. In many cases, the components were printed in a factory and were assembled on-site. We, however, printed the entire building envelope in one piece on-site.”

KampC: First two story building printed on site in Europe with BOD2

The BOD is a small 3D printed office hotel of less than 50 square meters located in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn.

The goal of this project was to demonstrate how 3D printing technology could be applied in the traditional construction industry in Europe. The idea for the project came from our participation in the Danish government-funded project “3D Construction Printing”, during which we visited more than 35 3D construction printing projects worldwide. We realized that Europe was falling behind, and we took on the challenge to be the first in Europe to 3D print a building fulfilling the strict building codes of Europe.

Skender

Skender is drawing up plans to manufacture and build the modular units for a 10-story, 144-unit multifamily building in Uptown Chicago and a 7-story, 122-unit multifamily building in West Loop. “We know we’ll get this done 40 percent faster than anyone else and at a higher standard,” said Skender Chief Design Officer Tim Swanson.

Stacy Scopano, Skenders new Chief Technology Officer – “I haven’t seen a lot of virtual reality experiences that didn’t include some awkward disconnect between “presenter” and “audience.”  The Magic Leap device eliminates isolating a team member’s in their own virtual environments and allows for a much more natural augmented collaboration, which is the original intent of mixing realities in Real Estate & AEC.”

VIM will be collaborating with Skender on real-time augmented experiences for the modular units. VIM's Augmented Reality application powered by Magic Leap will augment the physical space to help people experience what the finished product will represent when completed.

From Revit to real-time in no time

Creating a VIM file is a breeze with our Revit plugin. From dry technical BIM to a lightweight and complete encapsulation, users can export a VIM file from Revit, then open it in various apps and editors such as 3DS Max.   

You won't have to wait long, with our best in class export performance from Revit to VIM, you'll be pleased to see small projects export instantly, and amazed that large complex BIM, like a 2.2GB Project with 16 links will only take 25 minutes to turn into a VIM from a mid-tier laptop. That same VIM loads into the VIM Desktop App in mere seconds, by the way!

Key Features:
- Local or Cloud, your choice 
- Small file size 
- All links in one file
- Maintains data for phases, work sets, design options, sub-categories, etc 
- All BIM data 

As part of our Building Pilot Program Agreement with GP Vivienda,  FBR has constructed four Mexican-style two-bedroom, one-bathroom house structures using the Hadrian X® at FBR’s premises, with each structure taking less than one standard shift on average to complete.

Two of the structures were built indoors at FBR’s facility, with the remaining two structures built simultaneously side by side outdoors to emulate the most economical operating process for a Hadrian X® in a residential development in Mexico.

Having completed the Pilot Program stage, FBR and GP Vivienda intend to progress the Block Development stage of the Building Pilot Program Agreement, by building additional Mexican-style structures using the Hadrian X® with blocks produced in Mexico. 

Pilot Building Program (GP Vivienda) 

Chief Technical Officer Mark Pivac provides an update on FBR operations as Hadrian X® builds the first of several houses in the southern suburbs of Western Australia.

Quintain

Quintain Ltd. engaged Delve to raise project density while minimizing daylighting and cost impacts, solving for complex project requirements in a 12-acre mixed-use development on the North East Lands site in Wembley Park, London.

Using Delve, Quintain generated, evaluated, and optimized 40,000 variants that increased the number of housing units (i.e. "unit yield") while preserving quality of environment over an existing benchmark design. By the end of the 8-week engagement, Delve produced 24 high-performing variants that exceeded all goals across unit yield, usable built area, daylight access, sun hours on the ground, and daylight impacts on neighbors.
