Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT
1) Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below:
a. Multi-Unit Residential Apartment
b. Office Buildings
C. School
Answer:
School
2) Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC
Answer:
From the National Building the assumptions taken are:
PART 3 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL RULES AND GENERAL BUILDING REQUIRMENTS page 25
Assume Primary schooll(class 1 to 51) for every 5000 population
Strength of the school 500 students
Area per school 0.40 ha
School building area 0.30 ha 3000m2
Play field area 0.10 ha-1000m2 (with a minimum of 18 m 36 m to be ensured for effective play)(which is inclusive of the limited parking requirement for functional uses)
NOTE: The schools should be inclusive providing education to all children including those with disabilities. However it may be required to have exclusive schools in case of certain disabilities, such is speech hearing, sight and multiple disabilities.
