Architect: Gehry Partners

My role and responsibilities on this project included working with the core design team on physical design models, 3D design models using Digital Project, and design documentation. My primary focus was to help produce detailed parametric 3D models for various aspects of the design and create detailed drawings to capture the different building systems in detail.

Process

The design of the Guggenheim took place primarily through physical

models and design modeling in Digital Project. I had the opportunity to work on several aspects of the Museum. Using Digital Project as the primary modeling environment to establish design geometries, model elements, and detailed components. The model was organized and structured by disciplines, building zones, products, elements, and systems. The outcome of this effort was a highly detailed and coordinated central master model that described the Guggenheim Museum in its entirety and was an integral part of the documentation set.
