The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 14) Bim fOr architecture Moscow Road markland Klaschka ltd Close to Notting hill in London, Moscow Road has an active local community and a high tourist population. The project’s goal was to maximize the amount of residential and retail or eatery space on the site. The ground floor is badly underutilized and although the street frontage presents the opportunity for outdoor eating, the pavements are narrow and noisy, limiting the possibilities. Markland Klaschka’s solution was to create an inward-facing courtyard scheme that maximized visibility and access. A major challenge was to keep the vertical footprint to a minimum. Using Bentley Architecture, 3D volumetric models were created, allowing Markland Klaschka to resolve the vertical circulation 30 percent faster and ultimately reclaim as much as 5 percent of the floor space. Integration and automation of output from the project enabled the creation of a project dashboard that provided rapid evaluation of design options. William J. Clinton Presidential Library polshek partnership architects llp The $100 million William J. Clinton Presidential Center is located within a new 30-acre public park along the south bank of the Arkansas River. The integrated architectural and site design transforms a former industrial site of old warehouses and undeveloped open space into a singular destination that is an integral element in the revitalization and expansion of downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. Polshek Partnership Architects used Bentley’s BIM solutions for its 3D modeling, which it found to be an easy-to-use environment for designers and superb for its integration of 2D, 3D, and visualization. This integration allowed more time for design and access to a broad range of 2D and 3D design tools. 14 ThE YEAR IN INFRASTRUCTURE 2007
