Burj Khalifa by Hanzhang Liu

Project Overview

The Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With a total height of 829.8 m (2,722 ft) and a roof height (excluding antenna) of 828 m (2,717 ft), the Burj Khalifa has been the tallest structure and building in the world since its topping out in 2009 (Wikipedia, 2019). 
Burj Khalifa was designed to be the centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development to include 30,000 homes, nine hotels, 7.4 acres of parkland, at least 19 residential skyscrapers, the Dubai Mall, and the 30-acre artificial Burj Khalifa Lake (Wikipedia, 2019).




Processes

1. The first step to start this project is to get the floor plan of Burj Khalifa. The one I choose was from internet, which contains basic components at ground level as well as regional function division.   


2. In order to get clear lines that enables us to utilize in Revit Conceptual Mass accurately, the AutoCAD process is indispensable for this study. Because lines in the picture above appear very blurry when we import in Conceptual Mass family, AutoCAD should be first implemented to depicting lines and scale the size of the ground level. 


3. Next step is to import the .Dwg file in to Revit Conceptual Mass with clear lines, and then use Reference Line, pick up a line function, to draw the entire base of Burj Khalifa. Moreover, the angle parameters were assigned in this process via Split Tool. 


4. After some detail adjustments by using Trim and Split, extrusion is a good way to create the base form of the building.


5. Height parameters were assigned at each stage of the extrusion, and all were controlled by a scale parameter named: S_Height. 



6. Repeat extrusions according to a certain rule will result in the final version of the conceptual mass. 



Project Envelope

The envelope family was created following the original design of Burj Khalifa, the thickness of the glass is parametric driven as well.  



Equations

The intend of this parametric building is with variable height and changeable angle.
1. Height: S_Height × 60m.
2. Angle: S_Angle × default angle

ARCH 653 Project 2 Burj Khalifa with Dynamo by Hanzhang Liu Instructor: Dr. Wei Yan Project Overview In this project 2 assignment, Dynamo was utilized to explore multifunction based on project 1. The purpose of project 2 is to change parameters and building façade in project 1. To be specific, (1) control building parameters in the dimension of building height and building angles, (2) a simple user-based color design and (3) sun path driving curtain panel design for energy utilization have been covered in this final project. 1. Parameters Control In order to control parameters in Dynamo, several works should be done in mass project file in Dynamo. In project 1, Height and Angle parameters require user to change manually, which somehow tedious to achieve this function in Revit. Once the parameters could be changed in Dynamo, an integration function enables users to understand process easier. In this section, the code could be written in this form for Height Paramet
