Description
This case study will showcase how we dismantled an existing 1970s commercial tower—consisting of 46 floors standing at 188 m (617 ft) tall—and upcycled it to win Building of the Year 2022 at the World Architecture Festival 2022! The international, award-winning, high-rise Quay Quarters Tower retained 70% of the existing structure while doubling the NLA (net lettable area) in its retrofitting process. Autodesk building information modeling (BIM) technologies helped the team save 12,000+ metric tons of embodied carbon, as well as reduce construction time and environmental impact. We'll cover the digital efficiencies achieved during the design process of such a significantly large high-rise project through the use of Revit software, ReCap Pro software, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Navisworks software, and numerous structural design specialist software systems.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to implement a BIM strategy for retrofitting buildings to save on material waste and cost.
- Learn about collaborating effectively across the globe using the Autodesk Construction Cloud.
- Learn about capturing existing site conditions using laser scan technologies to develop BIM data for structural analysis.
- Learn how to evaluate the amount of embodied carbon savings using the BIM data and using Autodesk Insight.
