ARCH 653 PROJECT 1
Project 1 - BIM Andrew Smith | ARCH 653 | Spring 2023 Rachofsky House Dallas, Texas 1. Through a study on Richard Meier’s Architectural language and conceptual massing, I can successfully create a more sophisticated BIM model of the house. There are elements found throughout his works that are specific to his language and design choices that can be best represented through a catolouge of conceptual masses PROJECT 1 MASS I first studied the way Meir would layout his floor plans. For the Rachosfsky House, Meir uses and ABC layering technique to define the layers. From there, he then divides the mass with the Transverse Axis seperateing the mass into the Private/Public space. I began by creating the main body mass with the Width being the sum of the three defined ABC layers. You will also notice the red Transverse axis that defines the main entry of the house. This is my AXIS parameter. The next step was to create a series of massing pieces specific to Richard Me
