Aedas receive Autodesk Revit BIM
Experience Award
Aedas solves design challenges using Revit Architecture on residential and educational projects in Dubai and Hong Kong.
Autodesk has announced that it has presented Aedas, an international design firm based in Hong Kong, with a Revit BIM Experience Award for their use of Revit Architecture software to create remarkable buildings around the world, including a new 83-story high-rise residential tower in Dubai that incorporates more than 10,000 frames of glass on the modularised twisting facade With Revit Architecture the multi-national team was able to quickly visualise and verify the overall constructability and economic feasibility of the complex curved curtain wall structure

When designing the Ocean Heights residential tower in Dubai, Aedas designed the building to maximise views toward the ocean with a deliberate twist on three of its faces.
Because of the twisting nature of the 83 story building, the parametric modelling tools in Revit Architecture played a crucial role in facilitating the precise positioning of each curved curtain wall panel.
Revit enabled Aedas to identify the coordinates of every piece of the over 10,000 frames of glass on the modularised facade, verifying that each piece was flat.
This ensured the design's constructability and the project's economic feasibility.
Working closely with other building disciplines on the recent Community College City University Building (CCCUB) project in Hong Kong, Aedas was able to streamline design processes and easily identify and address interferences before construction using BIM.
The design, as communicated in drawings and other project documentation, was subject to intense scrutiny and handling by government agencies, school officials, contractors and consultants.
Building information modelling using Revit Architecture software ensured that the information and documentation being shared was perfectly coordinated throughout the design, and all statutory submissions required by Hong Kong regulations were automatically calculated and created directly from the Revit model.
"Aedas' use of Revit Architecture offers a stellar example of how firms adopting a BIM process can more cost effectively manage complex designs, successfully manage international teams and coordinate efficiently with other design disciplines to provide a client with fully integrated and accessible design," said Jay Bhatt, senior vice president Autodesk AEC Solutions.
