The existing building is removed and new enclosures are built — 6 for pheasants and 12 for gamebirds (pullets, quail, partridges, guineafowl), served by a shared walkway. Each enclosure has an aviary of steel structure and steel mesh and an indoor room of timber structure within the common volume. During construction the facility was brought into operation as a pheasantry.
The model is exported from Archicad as IFC and lightened for the web: merged meshes, lower precision, no internal properties, and a watermark.
Our own converter reads the IFC file and records every element with its Archicad ID, storey, layer, materials and properties. Everything around the building is cropped to its bounding box.
Areas, element counts and materials come from the model. Live readings are simulated until the building has connected sensors. The sun is calculated for the actual site coordinates.
