This project addresses the rapidly evolving needs of the city’s most innovative commercial tenants and the future of work by repositioning all of the building’s public spaces. Boldly current and reflective of complex fabrication techniques, the spaces are now centered on the human experience and are ready to support the city’s meteoric growth as a high-tech hub.

The design elements directly reference motifs found in and around Seattle, from wood ceilings that emulate the motion of wind and waves to a fractal travertine wall inspired by the region’s tectonic activity. They all work in harmony to shape a series of calming spaces for tenants and visitors to work, recharge, and connect.

Advanced technologies, such as VR modeling, were at the core of a design process through which the team developed a highly tactile and emotional experience for the spaces. The fractal wall was computationally designed and engineered, and each of the 1,400 stone pieces used in its construction was optimized.

Grasshopper is a visual programming language and environment that pairs with Rhino 3D, a software program also developed by Robert McNeel & Associates. Grasshopper allows users to build algorithms by dragging and connecting components on a digital canvas. From parametric modeling and fabrication, lighting performance analysis, to building energy consumption, Grasshopper provides an intuitive way to explore design without requiring programming experience.

Platforms for Life

Taisei Corporation

TAISEI decided to deploy a paperless process with DWG files centralized in the cloud, using Microsoft OneDrive for Business. This enables real-time synchronization of DWG files between the design teams, who produce the DWG drawings using ARES Commander, and the construction workers, who view the drawings on iPads. But the next challenge was to deploy a Mobile CAD solution on more than 4,000 iPads to enable the construction workers to read, annotate, and eventually modify these drawings on site.

TBI Hazenberg Bouw

Hazenberg developed Vredeoord in collaboration with Sint Trudo: a special neighborhood with about 250 homes. 

Problem:

Collecting and classifying the data from the  different subcontractors was one of the challenges for  Hazenberg Bouw. Importing and converting files in different  formats was even a bigger one: bringing .IFC files to  Navisworks or Solibri resulted in loss of data and details.  Merging different Revit models (creating federated models) and model coordination (making sure all project  participants have the latest version) was another issue  they wanted to address. A coherent, integrated  workflow with their already existing Common Data  Envronment was high priority as well to improve communication during the design and pre-construction  stage. Another issue mentioned by Hazenberg Bouw was  synchronizing files from Autodesk BIM 360 to Navisworks  and Solibri - every time a new update was available, the files  had to be manually synced.  

Solution:
 
Verifi3D by Xinaps was the perfect choice for  Hazenberg Bouw’s needs as it optimizes and automates  model checking. Offered as a cloud-based SaaS, Verifi3D  allows classifying building design data, conducting  automated checks in compliance with regulations and  reporting issues real-time, all in one platform. 


Advantages Verifi3D

The building construction industry is currently undergoing a major shift globally, as it is starting to massively digitalize and standardize its design and engineering processes. A significant part of the classification and checking of building models is still performed manually, costing a lot of time, effort and is prone to error. Verifi3D bridges the gap between the design and the construction stage by automating the manual checking tasks and enhancing the quality of BIM data. 

With Verifi3D, a cloud based ( model checking solution, it's our ambition to become the spell checker of every BIM model in the building construction industry. Verifi3D offers seamless integration with CDEs such as Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk BIM 360, and issue trackers such as BIM Track, BIMcollab and Autodesk BIM 360 Issues. All your favourite tools integrated in one place!

AUDA (Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority)

Mummadpura Flyover project has been implemented by Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) as a project management consultancy and Ranjit Buildcon as a general contractor. The aim of this project was to improve traffic management on the outer ring road of Ahmadabad city. 
In VisiLean, BIM model elements are linked to executable tasks, so any updates from site are applied to the model. It’s like a LIVE 4D representation of the construction project. This platform enables live monitoring and comfort for sharing data.

Another amazing VisiLean feature is enabling project managers get to review the Planned vs. Actual statue with a slider! Also by enabling real-time updates from site, you can get weekly and monthly progress reports (include progress updates, visualizations of project statue on the BIM model and site images) at the click-of-a-button. By VisiLean, the team can report on Constraints directly from the app; Therefore, the relevant stakeholders can take action and provide resolution.

The Rail Implementers forum was established to allow railway stakeholders and software vendors to work together to test the implementation of the IFC 4.3 standard.  The forum was part of the  international project of BuildingSMART International to extend the IFC standard to the railway sector, the IFC Rail project, and the objective of the Forum was to test and validate the IFC 4.3 standard.

In this context, railway stakeholders, software vendors and IFC technical experts worked together to test the standard through some real life use cases. For each use case, the stakeholders supported by the experts defined information requirements (specification) for the BIM models and the software vendors produced the models according to those requierements.
regola was used both to create the model specification by selecting rules that described the expected content and behavior of the BIM models, and to validate the models against the specification.
The result was the production of high quality BIM models and the thorough testing of the IFC 4.3 standard. 


IFC Rail Implementers forum

regola is a web-based platform that allows clients to specify their information requirements , to share them with their suppliers and to validate openBIM models. 
The suppliers can check their IFC models against the specification provided by the client and the same can do clients when they receive the models.
The ultimate goal is to provide clear visibility over a specification, plus a validation capability available to both parties. This will allow to produce high quality BIM models.
