Project -2 BIM(Dynamo) | Saranya Gunasekar |ARCH 653

  ARCH-653  PROJECT -2  For this project, I have chosen to model one of the proposed design for Vikings football stadium in Minnesota, Minneapolis.    https://www.mprnews.org/story/2012/09/28/vikings-texas-firm-to-design-new-stadium   The design was created by HKS Architects, based in Dallas in 2012. This was the second concept for the new Vikings stadium, which included ribbon-like roof panels. Unfortunately, this concept was rejected due to practical considerations and cost factors. Project Considerations and Objectives: The primary objective of this project is to design a conceptual mass. Although this is not intended to be a real building, I envision it as a museum. Due to the lack of specific architectural details to reference, I created the mass using my own geometric concepts. I planned to construct this model entirely using Dynamo, where I will also design adaptive curtain panels that can be controlled and adjusted through Dynamo. This method enables me to explore parametric de

Project -1 BIM | Saranya Gunasekar |ARCH 653 | Turning Torso, Sweden

Image
Name: Turning Torso Location: Sweden https://archestudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Turning-torso-malmo-1.jpg Turning Torso is a beautiful tower located in Malmo, Sweden designed by Architect  Santiago Calatrava.  It is a largest building in Nordic Region, Europe. The tower is designed based on the twisting tower concept. The building is 190m tall. It is divided into nine segments, each consisting of five-story irregularly shaped pentagons that twist relative to one another as the building rises. From the ground to the top, the tower completes a 90-degree twist. With a total of 54 floors, each floor is rotated by 1.667 degrees from the one below.  The building features a central cylindrical concrete core that vertically integrates key elements, including elevators, staircases, and major service systems.  The typical plan view of the tower, shown below, provides a clearer understanding of the overall design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_Torso#/media/File:Turning_Torso_struct
