Midterm Project
This project is a part of ARCH 653: Building Information Modelling course offered at the Department of Architecture of Texas A&M University . The purpose of this project was to create a building model that can be controlled parametrically in different dimensions. The students were supposed to select a real world building and, prior to modelling, gather useful information about them like plans, elevations and most importantly the architect's design intent. The students were also given a free will to introduce their own design intent in the model. For my project i selected "One World Trade Centre" as my target building. The details of the building are given below: Tower Details Podium The tower rises from a podium whose square plan measures approximately 204 feet by 204 feet, the same footprints as the original towers. The podium is 186 feet tall and is clad in triple-laminated, low-iron glass curtains and horizontal, embossed stainless steel slats. The
