Description

My structural system comprises shear walls and a column-beam megaframe. I didn’t want to obstruct occupant views with overly complex X-bracing on the exterior, for I want this building to maintain its position as a “breathable” building. Each level was laterally supported with a cross-hatched beam distribution across which aimed to distribute loads coming from all lateral directions. A combination of different joint types would help develop stiffness where necessary, and special plates would help improve seismic safety

Bays were generally 20ft long, but supporting systems near stairways were kept simple to allow a scenic walk for occupants moving across floors. Lastly, the steel and concrete used for this construction would ideally be sourced locally, but custom curtain walls would seek to optimize the occupant experience while mitigating energy costs.

Using ACC Model Coordination

  1. Upload your architectural and structural models to your folder on ACC Documents, then copy them into the subfolder named Coordination Space.
  2. Use the modules pull-down menu to switch to the Model Coordination tool.

  4. Create a new View that merges a 3D view from both your architectural and structural models.
  5. Open the new view, and use the ACC Model Coordination environment to navigate to an interesting camera viewpoint. Then, create an Issue to share this viewpoint.
    1. Click the Issues button in the left navigation bar to display the saved issues.
    2. Click the Create Issue button to create a new one.
    3. Click a location in the model viewer to place a push pin.
    4. Enter info for this issue:
      • Change the Type to Design
      • Enter a Title
      • Assign the issue to our CA
    5. Click the Create button to save your issue and send it to the assignee.
  6. Repeat these steps to create three issues sharing interesting viewpoints within your merged models.
