As an introduction exercise to Revit BIM software, students were given a selection of buildings to replicate through digital means. The buildings given were in most cases poorly documented. Research was graphically oriented in the forms of images, sketches and plans which were put together to define the massing of the building.
A particular part was then chosen for a layout to experiment with some further options in Revit. Here, in La Tourette, I chose to layout the individual rooms of the monastery.
This exercise was indeed very useful to kickstart our individual projects for the semester.
I hope that the La Tourette model below can help in some ways. It is not very detailed. Bear in mind that it was my first introduction assignment to using 3D modelling. There is very little detail available on this project, or maybe it’s documented only in architecture french books.
The massing is based on approximated measurement from old plans and images, and the detail model is only partial. You will need Autocad Revit Building to open the files. It can be obtained from the Autocad Student Website
