Cardboard Cathedral at Christchurch - SiliconInfo

-
Only two years old, established in 2013, Cardboard Cathedral is beautiful, innovative and attributed a soothing ambience around.  Contrary to this beautiful ambience, the real picture was not always rosy. Earlier the location was dedicated to Anglican Church until it was hit by a massive earthquake of 6.3 magnitudes in 2011. Later on, the land was permanently allocated to present church. Located in the corner of Hereford and Madras Streets in Latimer Square of Christchurch Central city, it was designed by leading architect Shigeru Ban.

Cardboard Cathedral is developmental church of Anglican Diocese of Christchurch inaugurated in August, 2013. It reaches up to the height of 21 meters over the altar, consist of only one floor. The main materials utilized in structure were 60 cm and 24 in diameter cardboard tubes, steel and timber.  Its roof is made of polycarbon while the walls are formed by eight shipping containers. Concrete slab is studded in the foundation. Those 96 cardboard tubes are strengthen with covered wood beams and glazed with waterproof polyurethane and flame retardants. These whole setting has also came up with two inch gaps for the filtration of light inside. The building contains the triangular pieces made of stained glass. Along with a cathedral it also plays as a conference venue. Due to the experimental architecture the Cardboard Cathedral has won many accolades and also boost tourism of Christchurch.

  MEP coordination services or mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services share an important role in the overall BIM services. The process of BIM coordination services is to streamline the work with the adherence of required software and tools. The overall construction work of the building undergoes with a lot many stages i.e from the forming of the building fabric, its structure, to its external envelopes like steel, concrete, panel, and a lot more. While constructing a building HVAC services too need to be taken into consideration, this is also an important aspect in the construction field.   The overall process of MEP coordination services is not that simple as it seems in the images or its drawings as that shared online. The complete creation, as well as undertaking of the MEP BIM Coordination Services, is a success and this is possible only with the help of outsourcing MEP coordination services with the leading MEP coordination services provider. The MEP team is compri...

Image
In today’s competitive construction landscape, contractors and subcontractors are increasingly relying on Building Information Modeling (BIM) to streamline project workflows and boost productivity. BIM isn’t just a trend in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry—it’s a game-changer. For contractors and construction firms in the USA, understanding and using Architectural BIM effectively can be the difference between meeting project milestones and exceeding them. Let's look at some essential BIM tools, key benefits, and practical tips that can set contractors up for success in AEC projects. 1. Why Contractors Need Architectural BIM in AEC Projects Architectural BIM provides contractors with an integrated, data-rich digital representation of a project, covering every detail from design to construction. It includes everything from Architecture CAD Drawing and Architectural 3D Models to advanced Architectural 3D Rendering Services, allowing for improved visualiza...

How LOD450 and 5D BIM services are interconnected with one another for pre-construction and early design stages for the construction project?

-
Image
  The process of pre-construction and conceptual design process is a long seen work that cannot be avoided and it is due to the size of the project. In the past, the traditional method, as well as early architectural concepts and designs, were known to be a lengthier process and for the same, the discussion for the same too was taking a lot of time. Not only this but the owner and architect both need to have a discussion on various channels and also if there are any changes required to be done to an existing facility.   It is very much necessary that before the start of the project there should be an early conversation between the two parties as this stage is the reason for any project's success. This is where the task of 5D BIM Services comes into the picture. This stage of work helps in evaluating the conceptual design, and then at the later stage assessing the overall project's budget and its schedule. Thus, this is the process in which the building needs to assign the work...
