Share a brief overview of your proposed tool or solution (1 page max) that outlines the essentials of your plan. It should include:
Intended users
- Architects who want to develop a circular shape stadium design.
- Engineers and construction team who may build the stadium.
- Government or investors who may provide financial support for project.
Need you’re trying to provide a solution or support for
The tool is intended to help architects and engineers quickly and efficiently visualize stadium designs based on a variety of input parameters. Architects can adjust the input parameter to develop visualizations for the design and produce the best design, ensuring that the spacing and aesthetic requirements of the stadium are met.
The tool also aim to provide detailed information such as façade areas, estimated construction costs, and etc, providing valuable insights for investors and engineers who will be involved in the financing and construction of the project.
Inputs
- Radius of the stadium (top, middle, bottom)
- Height of the stadium (middle and top)
- Sin curve of the stadium (magnitude and number of waves)
Underlying logic of the model you’ll implement
Users of this tool will provide the desired values for the radii and heights of the circular stadium, which will serve as inputs in Dynamo to generate a visualization of the stadium.
The basic outputs, such as the floor and surface area and the volume of the stadium, can then be viewed in Revit or on the output page. The tool will also calculate the surface area to volume ratio and estimate construction costs, providing useful evaluations for the design.
Outputs
- Floor area of the stadium
- Volume of the stadium
- Facade area of the stadium
- Surface area to volume ratio
- Estimated construction cost
I want to develop a tool for stadium design because I evaluated the seating of a stadium in Module 7 and found it interesting to generate the overall shape of the stadium. If time allows, I also want to incorporate the seat count into this tool. This feature will ask the user to provide the number of rows (one more input), and the tool will then output the seat count and the area for non-seating spaces (two more outputs).
- non-seating space radius = bottom radius - seat width*number of rows - 10ft (leave some safety space)
