Week 9 - Site interior Model (Ben)

My next crucial role involved the creation of the interior site model. This mostly involved the creation of Courtyard spaces, green walls and interior plantation and devices for creeper vine. As seen in the screenshots this process was involved and required me to collaborate carefully with the rest of the group to insure both the aesthetic and function remained constant. I also had to insure that Adams circulation plans were not impeded.

The ground floor saw the creation of two courtyard spaces that fit with the architects plans involving the atrium. These spaces promote social activity within the building: 

As requested by the architect the first floor would remain as is, as the voids will view the courtyard space on the previous level.

The second floor involved the creation of a central courtyard space, as well as verandah spaces for each unit.

The central space fitted out with tress and plantation boxes:

The outdoor spaces (pre-render):

With the interior site model I had to collaborate much more carefully. Here I had to mostly work with Jake (interior designer) and Jack (MEP lighting), and to a lesser extent, with Adam's structural model. 

The following images are an overview of the modified spaces:

Overall this process was quite simple, and didn't require a great knowledge of Revit in order to create. In a way it was a very similar process to modelling the landscape, although requiring a lot more collaboration with my team mates. Next week I will focus on the creation of the green wall.
