Project2 - Allianz Arena - PARAMETRIC BIM USING VISUAL PROGRAMING: DYNAMO

Design Intent The second part of ARCH 653 (BIM in Architecture) focuses on using Revit Dynamo (Visual Programming) to manipulate parameters of the building envelope created in Project 1.  Allianz Arena has been known for its ETFE color-changing exterior plastic panels which makes the aim of my second project by using dynamo to change each panel of the model created in the first project so it can change to the flag of each team playing in the stadium.  Since the stadium is located in Germany I tried to create the Germany national flag. List of ETFE panels 1. Because the model created in the first project actually consisted of eight separate parts so the first challenge was to convert 8 separate lists of panels into one single list of panels. 2. The second step was to arrange the panels in a way so that we end up with a list of panels in a row-wise order. 3. At this part, I had to bring color materials from the Revit list of

Project1-Allianz Arena-Mass Modeling

This Project is for the course building information modeling 653 Texas A&M University. For this project we had to use Autodesk Revit to create a parametric surface and a pattern base envelope.  I chose the Allianz Arena stadium as a case study.  the stadium is located in Munich, Bavaria, Germany with 75000 capacity. known for its exterior inflated ETFE plastic panels and it is the first stadium in the world with a full color changing exterior which is the final objective of the project later on to make this happen parasitically by using dynamo.  my design intent was to use plan view to create a path then sweep the section of the surface through it. because there was not AutoCAD documents for the stadium I used google earth and some photos with general shape of the plan and the section of the stadium to find relation between stadium parameters for instance relation between the length and width of the stadium I imported the photos to AutoCAD
