During the first half of my third year our second assignment saw us modelling an existing building in various pieces of BIM and analytical software packages.

We were then tasked with analysing the building, specifically looking at energy and thermal performance and suggest measures that could improve.

The result was a seven part mixed media report covering everything from natural light studies to three dimensional animations exploring in detail the components that make up the building in its existing and proposed state.

I selected the iconic Willis Faber building in Ipswich, UK by Architect Sir Normal Foster as my case study. Its Grade I listed status is testament to its importance as a piece of architectural and technological history that is universally valued.
​
Both the building and the Architects prestige added to the challenge and I went to great lengths to ensure that what I modelled for the existing building was as true to reality as possible within the constraints placed upon me.
