#architectural modelling

CADBIM Americas offers architectural modelling services based on BIM technology to produce structural 3D models desired by architects, engineers, and builders. Smart models ensure better understanding and visualization of the building, easier cooperation between other disciplines, and a more logical construction process. We provide BIM solutions meeting the needs of residential, commercial, healthcare, industrial, and education projects at all stages of the construction process. As a client, you are able to have your project perfectly modeled with the help of professionals in our company. The models are always realized by experienced BIM technicians, and the best practices available in modelling are incorporated into our work with the application of the most advanced modelling solutions. Precision and the speed of our work are crucial to getting the right results. 

A textural investigation of plaster.

The fourth and final frame type was intended to take the benefits of the past 3 frames and add further flexibility. Each box of the frame can hold a terrain piece or be empty. They are all detached from one another so the terrain pieces can shift to any location, and the frame is able to break beyond the 3x3x3 grid.

Frame 3 combined the ideas behind 1 and 2 - panels scattered within the frame. Instead of the terrain pieces being able to be placed anywhere, they can only be placed where there is a panel. This would allow for movement around the rest of the frame in a way that frame 2 doesn’t.

Frame number two is the inverse of frame 1, with panels instead of a frame. The terrain pieces could be placed on any level, giving 27 potential locations rather than only 9.

First attempt at a frame to contain the terrain sections as per the week 2 section and elevations. It is simply a wire frame enclosing a 3x3x3 grid. The last image led to the second design of frame with the question; what if the terrain pieces could be supported at varying levels rather than simply stuck on the ground plane? Because otherwise aren’t the second and third levels of the frame wasted on the terrain pieces that aren’t big enough to hold themselves in those positions?
