this in mind and with the ex-

form. Interaction, privacy and affordable rent
were the key factors that led us to this design.
One of the client’s requirements was that 1/3 of the apartments had to comply with the “smart wohnen” program. This meant that these specific modules had to be compact enough within their different categories in order to be subsidized by the city of Vienna. In this case, B, C and D types. These smart apartments are accessible through the open gallery that opens to the main road in one building, and to

Detail of the joint “L” System Fassade
After changing the MEP team and due to necessary budget cuts, a new concept for the passive ventilation system was introduced. Since the apartments and façade design were already established and decided, the architect team was forced to reposition windows, some balconies and the designated space for furniture. With the new task in place, I was assigned to work with the MEP engineer team in order to coordinate these adaptations without changing the buildings’ architectural concept.

PROJECT USEFUL TOOLS (SCRIPTING/PROGRAMMING) PROJECT MANAGEMENT - TRACK CHANGES
1st floor plan Schitgründe project
When it comes to reducing the time spent performing repeated daily tasks and setting up the base project software presets, visual programming tools become essential. The project team can dedicate that time to important tasks, such as architectural concepts development, or refining important construction details. The design team can also benefit from tools tailored to specific needs in any project. Experience shows that specific
information stored in the design software needs to be listed.
But what if such a feature doesn’t exist? You develop your own. In this array of boxes and connectors, a small script was developed to access information (comments parameter) stored in the revision clouds. This helps keeping track of what, who and when executed the change and, perhaps most importantly, why it was made. That information can

Every revision cloud’s parameter “comment” had to be filled with what, who and when comment, so it would be easy to follow the changes more accurately. As everyone followed this new methodology, having a list with all the changes made in the project became feasible.

PROJECT USEFUL TOOLS (SCRIPTING/PROGRAMMING) PARAMETRIC DESIGN AND COMPONENTS ANALYSIS

Let’s say that the project team wants to develop a parametric organic façade with an array of different options. Later on, the team wants to extract information from that façade , such as solar incidence, individual component pattern deviation, etc. Tools can be developed to get that information and display it the way the team wants. This case study represents a façade, created by multiple individual revit dynamic components. The script developed be-
low was made to show how each façade component would be affected by the sun at a specific hour and day.
The result
is expressed by a colour gradient that displays the amount of direct sun on the façade.
