Building Information Modeling 2
In this class I took a historic building that is already existing and figured out how it had been constructed originally. I then proceeded to improve this building by adding a second retail floor and a third floor for potential tenant living. The owner of the wedding dress shop located in this building had specific requirements that he wanted on each floor including, more retail space, public restrooms, offices, a better break room, and a bigger seamstress area. In order to fulfill these requirements I had to create as-built, demolition, and new construction plans to communicate my ideas to the owner and contractors. I decided to use mass timber for the structure of the second and third floors to add some beauty to the spaces with the structure. This GIF briefly goes through the process of improving this historic site. |
