Modern architecture is increasingly oriented towards complex and dynamic forms, with ideas developed during the project process supported by 3D modeling. The executive project for the Gemelli Cuore in Rome, designed by the Binini Partners studio, was recently completed. Studio Cattivelli ing. Fausto collaborated on the execution of the envelope and variable geometry bands. At the same time, regulations already require the management of project data in BIM (Building Information Modeling) mode. This means using authoring programs where the multidisciplinary data contained in the model enrich the project with useful information, aiming to support the entire process of ideation, realization, and management of a work.
The complexity of the forms of the external envelope for each family of components generates a multitude of models, making adaptive geometry necessary. By managing parameters programmatically, this allows for the generation of various complex architectures and their modeling.
The role of the BIM Manager, Dario Cattivelli, responsible for this activity at Studio Cattivelli ing. Fausto, in coordination with other professionals, is to develop techniques for modeling envelope systems with overlapping levels of components such as carpentry, panels, and cladding, integrating different types of modeling.
The ultimate goal is to verify the implementation of the BIM model of complex architectures by moving from simplified components in the executive project to more defined objects for the construction project, overcoming the duplication of models at different levels of definition.
The general application of nested parametric models on the shared BIM model would require a large amount of data that is not easily manageable with high graphic performance demands. Therefore, it was deemed more advantageous for parametric studies applied to the production phase to identify representative facade types of the overall envelope. By using the general BIM model, these nested models representing the entire complex can be integrated into it.
