SADI Streamlines Design of Key Cultural Facility with BIM Advancements - 1

CASE STUDY Project Summary Organization: Sichuan Provincial Architecture and Design Research Institute Solution: Buildings Location: Panzhihua, Sichuan, China AECOsim Building Designer and ProjectWise Shorten Project Time and Save CNY 1 Million in Operating Costs on Panzhihua City's First Museum Project Objective: • Deliver a 24,000-square-meter, petal-shaped museum that embraces the culture and historical spirit of three-line construction in the Chinese city of Panzhihua. • Implement a collaborative 3D modeling approach to accommodate the complex design and tight schedule. Products used: AECOsim Building Designer, ProjectWise, Bentley Navigator Fast Facts • SADI implemented an integrated 3D modeling approach to design, construct, and operate the CNY 300 million Panzhihua Three-line Construction Museum. • AECOsim Building Designer and ProjectWise facilitated a collaborative BIM process to optimize building performance, reduce risk, and minimize costs under a tight deadline. • Parametric modeling facilitated quick and accurate complex section design. ROI • The application of BIM technology improved information mobility and data integrity, saving 50 days of design modification, 10 days of review time, and 20 days of onsite error processing. • Using BIM throughout the project lifecycle effectively reduced management risks of the Panzhihua Three-line Construction Museum, and eliminated design errors by 80 percent. • AECOsim Building Designer and ProjectWise provided SADI and the owner a means to visually and effectively communicate, enhancing vital decision-making processes and reducing design time from 14 to seven months. Conceptualizing the Design of a Complex, Petal-shaped Facility Located in China's Sichuan Province, the CNY 300 million Panzhihua Museum is a cultural facility built to inherit and promote the spirit of the ancient Chinese three-line construction process. To establish the city's first museum as a focal point for Panzhihuas surrounding construction, and meet the demands of its spiritual culture, Panzhihua Municipal Party Committee and Government contracted Sichuan Provincial Architectural Design and Research Institute (SADI). SADI's design concept originated from the petals of a silk cotton flower, consistent with Panzhihua being the only city in China named after a flower. Moreover, the three different types of exterior decorative materials chosen for the various building forms vividly represent the different cultural periods during three-line construction. The five-story, petal-shaped facility is 24,000 square meters and houses exhibition space, a collection warehouse, administrative offices, guest services, and equipment areas, as well as auxiliary space. To accommodate the complex structure situated on a U-shaped site in a mountainous, subtropical region, SADI needed to ensure accurate positioning for the architecture form, design diverse spaces with height differences up to 22 meters, and coordinate the exhibition and interior design simultaneously—all within the tight schedule mandated by the municipality. "The height difference of this site is over 20 meters . . . so the complex interior space in the structure, abnormal exterior walls, and the tight schedule posed a great challenge for this project," explained Zhang Kai, supervisor of the BIM design office at SADI. AECOsim Building Designer and ProjectWise provided SADI with an integrated BIM solution from conceptual design through construction and operation. Interoperability and Information Mobility Faced with an extremely short construction time frame, a complex internal building space, and the multi-faceted fagade, the project team selected to deploy Bentley's BIM advancements from design conception through lifecycle management. "At the core of BIM technology is 3D collaboration," stated Kai. ProjectWise provided the connected data environment for the comprehensive digital 3D model, and AECOsim Building Designer enabled the mechanical, electrical, interior, and exhibition design teams to incorporate design information within the building model. The interoperability of Bentley software facilitated information exchange among the various disciplines and ensured timely collection, update, management, and data application throughout all stages of the project. The CNY300 million building houses exhibition space, a collection warehouse, administrative offices, guest services, and equipment areas as well as auxiliary space. Using an intelligent 3D model, SADI was able to communicate visually with the project stakeholders, enabling the owner to make informed decisions and ensuring SADI met the project criteria. The 3D sectional views available using Bentley applications provided vivid design ideas and modules of all systems. At the construction stage, field staff used mobile applications to view the project model and drawing information through ProjectWise, providing a reliable and accurate basis for the team to manage workflows and control costs. Working in a collaborative BIM environment facilitated information mobility and improved efficiency, allowing all project participants to discuss and solve potential problems based on a unified, comprehensive 3D data model, significantly reducing design time and errors.
