Description

My proposed structural design is fairly straight forward and I think the more unique feature is that it is a taller building for the purpose of each floor be dedicated to specific function. The plan is to increase the amount of windows and curtain walls all around for all floors in addition to the top floors for later design iterations. This way, there will be plenty of sunlight pouring into each floor. The integration of natural sunlight and indoor space is one of the key elements. Structurally, I tried to minimize the number of columns for each floor to allow for more open space for the open work environment and social areas. If needed, I will change the horizontal beams to be trusses so that I can go wider without vertical columns. I have positioned beams around the shafts and isolated foundation for the ground floor. Other than that, all the columns and beam systems are laid out as a grid for simple straight forward design.

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.

  3. Pull-down the coordination spaces menu (beneath the account login), and choose your personal Coordination Space.

  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.
