Design memo of 300 to 400 words: what survived the handoff, what you rebuilt, what assembly choices you made and why, and where Revit and Forma disagreed.
The transition from Forma to Revit was rather difficult and required several tries to properly load a workable mass. Once it was finally loaded, the process successfully preserved the floor plates and the basic shapes of the surrounding context buildings. The final model passed through cleanly with the windows in place, looking nice after the last attempt. I encountered several mistakes during the transfer, but I did not rebuild the entire thing from scratch. I mostly focused on manually correcting those specific geometric errors directly in the design to make the model functional and appealing for the final submission.
For the building core, the circulation was structured using two strategic stair locations for practical access. The primary staircase is located in the main part of the building directly alongside the elevator shaft for daily use. The second staircase was placed on the side of the building to provide an alternate escape route that services the farthest corner from the center. For the roof, I chose an extensive green roof instead of an open terrace. Since this surface receives direct sunlight, a standard terrace would only expose residents to intense, uncomfortable heat. The green roof utilizes this solar exposure productively to absorb heat and manage thermal loads efficiently. Additionally, I edited the existing walls to incorporate proper layered materials and fix their thermal properties to complement this overall sustainable strategy.
Comparing the studies showed that the Total Carbon from the Week 3 Forma baseline stood at 3.25M kgCO2e. The critical difference between the two numbers lies directly in the specific Embodied Carbon, which the detailed calculation accurately isolated at 544,214.38 kgCO2e due to the newly added green roof and the precise thermal editing of the wall layers. This comparison highlights how shifting from conceptual masses to defined architectural materials refines our environmental tracking.
