The project team are beginning to define the physical parameters of the project and are proposing to model up to 2o buildings on the University of Sheffield Campus. Each of these models will have external envelopes and internal organisation layouts. All other buildings on the university campus and surrounding area will be modelled externally. Quality of information and building data is more important than volume of buildings for this project, however a critical mass of buildings is required to get across the worth of the platform. The aim of 20 buildings to be modelled is an 'in principal' proposal that is subject to change.
A number of the buildings will be defined as 'Live Projects' that the unversity is planning to regenerate / develop in the near future and will act as pilots for the project.
Masters architecture students will be involved from March 09 – to help develop modelling and analysis of the platform.
We are beginning to investigate the possibility of geo-referencing X3d physical models and creating scripts that allow specific parts of 3d building and space visualisations to be selected and adapted on a 2d computer screen.
In addition we are discussing ways that we can implement a system that allows users to adapt floor plans and reconfigure spaces. Possible creation of new tools to allow people to do this without out using external software is being explored.
