ARCH 653 Project 02: United Tower- Bahrain

Image
Building Name:  United Tower Location: Bahrain Project movie Project 02Modeling Steps: First Step: Creating Outlines for the Building The twisted building mass of the United Tower is rotated gradually 180 degrees from ground level to the top level. At first, I created a parametric mass family as an outline of the twisted building mass. Also, I created a rectangle outline family for the interlocked rectangle block of the building. Second Step: Create Building Mass For creating building mass, I used Dynamo Script for both twisted building mass and rectangle hotel block. Then I joined the two masses by Solid by Union then I run the Dynamo Script. By the Import Instance by Geometry option, the mass of the built form has been imported to Revit. Third Step: Making Adaptive Curtain Panels I have made three parametric adaptive curtain panels for the envelope of the mass. One of the curtain panels I inspired by the Al-Bahar Tower parametric facade. Fourth Step:   Create a parametric env

Building Name:  United Tower Location: Bahrain Project movie Project 01Modeling Steps: First Step: Create a Rotation Family The twisted building mass of the United Tower is rotated gradually 180 degrees from ground level to the top level. At first, I created a parametric mass family for the rotation of the twisted building mass. For the rotation of the building outline, I made two reference lines; on those two reference lines one is rotted with the axis and another projected perpendicularly and we draw the building outline on this reference plane. We make the width and depth the type parameter and the rotation angle is the instant parameter which is defended on the Number parameter multiplied by 180 degrees. Where the number (N) parameter is an instant parameter by changing N value our build from is rotated. Second step: Create Building Mass The total height of the building is 200m, I created five levels and located those levels equally. I use total height as the height parameter o
