One building. Multiple information systems.

Private residence and Galfa Tower exercises exploring architectural, structural and MEP modeling, exchange and coordination.

Context: Academic BIM exercises
Place / Date: Milan, Italy · 2018
Role: Master’s coursework
Institution / Practice: Politecnico di Milano · Scuola Master Fratelli Pesenti

Architecture, structure and MEP authoring screenshots — Parallel discipline models in the private residence exercise.

01 / Question

Coordinate separate disciplines while retaining useful, inspectable building information.

02 / Process

The documented exercises compare authoring environments and model outputs, then examine coordination with Navisworks and Solibri. Process diagrams position the model as an information database.

03 / Outcome

Documented multidisciplinary models, model checking views and workflow studies. No quantified clash reduction or commercial delivery is claimed.
