BIM Modeling

 

For the BIM model, I chose to model in detail a generic floor of the Tower. I could not get a very good quality floor plan of its typical office floor but from what I could gather from cross section views of the Hearst Tower, the office area contains:

1.       A sets of 8 (4 facing 4) Elevators

2.       Desks surrounding the inner core of the floor

3.       Private offices in the small rectangular areas along the perimeter of the floor

4.       Meeting rooms in the larger rectangular areas adjacent to the private offices and also on the corners of the floors

5.       Large work room on one of the corners

6.       Storage, restrooms, or smaller workrooms in the rooms of the inner core of the floor
