I chose this as a reference for my project because I thought the general shape of the stadium is very intruiging and would be a challenge to try to model in Revit parametrics. 


PROJECT 1

MASS


I began with an outer ellipse shape and an inner elipse shape to create the base form of the stadium. I aligned the quadrants of both ellipses to reference planes with labels that matched with the family editor. 

I used half of this section as a surface to revolve around the ellipse in 3D form creation. The outside is linked to the outer ellipse and the inside is linked to the inner ellipse. The curve at the top is a parametric and can be adjusted (to a limit). 

 

For the final mass, I used estimated measurements that matched with the real National Stadium.


The model is able to be adjusted and have different family types.

Example 1: Height and curve change

Example 2: Length change

Example 3: Ellipse to Circle


ENVELOPE

I used a bent triangle curtain panel family to begin my envelope. I created a circular mullion that has an adjustable radius. Points 1 and 3 are offset from 2 and 4 to create a more 3D shape, inspired by the 3D envelope of the original National Stadium.



At first, I loaded the mass into a new family file to create the envelope. In this, I found that I would be unable to adjust the mass in the final project file. My solution to this was to duplicate the completed mass file and use it as a base for the envelope. To create the envelope, I divided the "wall exterior" surface and the curved surface. I then used the division to insert the triangle curtain panel system that I created. The roof and interior were kept as solid. 


PROJECT ON SITE

I put the envelope file on the site for the original National Stadium in Beijing.



I created wall, floor, and roof panels for the project, assigned materials that were previously added in the mass and envelope, and rendered the project.

  Project 2 Bird's Nest in Dynamo Final Model Video Ellipse I used dynamo to create the ellipse to begin my form. I used a length and width I had used for my final in project one to create the outer ellipse shape and created a model curve using the dynamo curve. I took the length and width and divided by 2 to create the inner ellipse shape and repeated the step of making a model curve from the dynamo curve. Ellipse in Dynamo Ellipse in Revit created from Dynamo Mass I duplicated the ellipse file to begin the mass. I created the section by hand and used the ellipse to create the form for the stadium. The height was determined by the actual stadium height as discovered in project 1, and the section was improved upon, especially in the curved areas. I used parameters to create the section shape, but some are not friendly once the form has been created.  Section for Form Final form mass Adaptive Component I started with a three-point adaptive component and a circular section to create
