Springfield 3D modelling


Post by: Mike Loleke

After our site visit at the Springfield brewery, the BIM postgraduate urban modelling group had further discussion regarding the finalisation of our aim and objectives. In order to effectively achieve our aim towards the urban heritage development for the Springfield brewery, our following objective was to gather additional  research collectively from postgraduates and undergraduates to enhance the 3D model design,  level of information as well as level of details of the brewery from previous years.


Few of the information found towards the Brewery were;


Heritage photos of the Springfield; this have been very helpful towards coordinating and identifying heritable areas of the building as well as how the culture of the working environment operated.



 






Springfield brewery drawings; these following drawings were created by the landscape architects Eachus Associates  for the clients Simon Developments & Wimpey Homes NW apartment conversation.  These drawings have been a great help towards identifying and replicating the building into a 3D model.

3D scans data; The University provided the scan data already divided to their individual blocks. The scans can then be merged as a whole site and can also be imported into Revit for modelling.





Revit Model;  The Revit model was modelled based on the recent building state developed by Landscape Architects Eachus Associates  for the clients Simon Developments & Wimpey Homes NW apartment conversation. The model equals to the incomplete site structure, therefore the Revit model is on the process of structure redevelopment back to the its first functionality as a brewery.




Tasks; the building modelling has been divided to each student ….. I have been given the task to model the B Block of the model









Challenges occurred during modelling; as a method of reconstructing the current building structure back to its glorious days as a brewery, aligning the Revit model to the PDF drawing files provided by Landscape Architects Eachus Associates. It had proven to be
