Battersea Power station, London, England:
When I was in Gehry Technology, I had participated in Battersea Power Station, Foundation LUMA (NBL), and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. In Battersea project, I worked with design team to form design surfaces in CATIA/Digital Project and further worked with architecture team to document building through Revit model. I had setup an automatic bi-directional translation between CATIA and Revit model to translate facade elements such as windows and winter gardens that are relative to interior space organization and views. I had solved some of the complex technical facades problem through parametric model such as thermal breaks, slab edge, insulation around windows, backup wall options. I also provided contractors in biding stage with set of excel documents containing families of mold for GFRC panels to reduce pricing bids.
Guggenheim Abu Dhabi:
Modeling Shards’ Nodes for pricing calculation. Organizing the model (products) and checking the ID for master model packaging, formal model that has been send to contractors for biding.
