Description
This class will illustrate an integrated design and construction process achieved through using a more advanced method of the modeling and documentation of a curved stone wall for a courthouse building. 2D documentation of the complex geometries might not lead into the most efficient workflow between the design/construction team. The case study—Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe, Kansas—demonstrates using adaptive component families in Revit software to model, document, and construct a 40 foot by 440 foot curved stone wall with punched openings. This class will explain the modeling method of the wall in Revit, the documentation for the contactor, and the construction of the wall on the jobsite. Using an adaptive component family (Revit), different types of stone panels in the curved wall were modeled precisely according to design intent and were placed and repeated on the parametric rig. The conclusion will be lessons learned in this project, and an examination of the pros and cons of this method.
Key Learnings
- Get familiar with a new method of modeling a curved stone wall in Revit using adaptive component families
- Learn about how the adaptive component model of a wall was used to document and construct the wall on the construction site
- Learn about the pros and cons of this modeling method for design and construction of the wall in comparison to conventional methods
- Learn about the benefit of using adaptive component modeling method for complex geometry such as a curved stone wall
Speakers
- ZHZahra HosseinabadiZahra Mirian Assoc. AIA is architectural designer whose work focuses on building information modeling and integration of design and construction process for more effective workflow. She has worked on wide range of commercial project such as airport and courthouse around United States. She received her Master of Architecture from North Carolina State University and Master of Building Construction Science and Management from Virginia Tech and is currently working for Colorado-based design firm, Fentress Architects. She also has previous work experience as BIM Specialist. Her passion is using new tools to optimize the design/construction workflow.
Brian MackeyBetter known as “The Revit Geek”, Brian has spent more than 25 years in the AEC industry, more than 10 of which have been focused on Revit and BIM. After nearly a decade of working with Architects and Engineers to advance BIM in their companies, Brian started his BIM consulting company in 2011 to focus on custom high-level training and mentoring. Brian has clients all over the US and Canada that generally tolerate his sarcastic nature in exchange for his wide breadth of BIM knowledge. Brian showcases his love of talking about Revit, or maybe just his love talking, in a monthly light-hearted, occasionally irreverent, free Q&A webcast, Revit Radio.- DLDylan LowderI hold a B.S. in Architectural Studies and a M.Arch from Southern Illinois University. While in school I found my interests were really in understanding how designs were to be built. It was during my time working digital fabrication shop at SIU that this passion grew. After graduating I spent a brief time working in a fabrication shop where I was a detailer and did tool-pathing for CNC milling. In 2011 I joined the VDC team at JE Dunn. For the last 4 years my focus at JE Dunn has really been in what capabilities and with what resources can our VDC team work with and help our Self Perform Group. My interests are focused around self perorm drawing creation, the layout process, and working directly with our superintendents and foreman to deliver exceptional products to our clients. We are builders and the digital tools I have allow me to directly have an impact on the work that is being put in place everyday.
