The 4th Virtual Design World Cup
The 4th Student BIM&VR Design Contest on Cloud Services
-Competition for designing an advanced construction
engineering-works on Cloud, making full use of BIM/CIM and VR!-
Theme 2014
"Sustainable Olympic Town in Tokyo Bay 2020"
This is an international competition for students to compete amongst each other in designing innovative architecture using BIM/CIM &VR technologies.
Every year students compete for the top prize which is given for outstanding work outlining a predefined theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and creativity. The students must plan and design their work based on the theme and then run a simulation. The final 3D model will be presented to the judges in the form of a script for evaluation.
To assist the students with the production of their work, Forum8 plan to carry out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students online and lots of helpful information can be found through the Web and VR forum ( 3D cloud BBS ).
A script of VR data created by FORUM8's software and a "Concept poster" (A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required for the final submission and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud judgment".
We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by all
means and consider this competition as an opportunity to create your masterpiece.
We encourage all students from all departments majoring in different fields
of study to enter a team to work on a model together to demonstrate that
BIM/CIM can be utilized in many different ways.

Theme2014
"Sustainable Olympic Town in Tokyo Bay 2020"
Tokyo is striding ahead towards the 2020 Olympic games and the city will strive to provide easy mobility and a comfortable stay for visitors from around the world, as well as living up to the expectation of its regeneration into an advanced environmentally friendly city.
In particular, the harbor region, this industrial land is recently transforming into a city equipped with complex urban features and will become the main venue of the Olympic games.
The theme for this year's VDWC will focus on this area, the Shikiba/Tatsumi region within which the new athletic stadiums are centralized to be specific.
However, rather than just designing the new Olympic games' stadiums themselves, we also expect you to consider the urban design of this entire region. The reason being the demand for new ideas on how traffic, accommodation, and food and beverage facilities that will serve the needs of the fans during the Olympics can be used effectively during and after the games, which is imperative considering the region's long-term development. (The temporary image of the Olympic stadiums that is imported into the UC-win/Road data and will be provided to you is based on the actual image of the stadiums presented by the city of Tokyo, however you are free to alter it)
We hope that you submit the kind of proposal that not only avoids unnecessary
investment and excessive burden but also promises the development of the
harbor region into a sustainable urban waterfront which will offer an attractive
and valuable environment in both scenic and ecological terms.
As long as your work is in line with the theme itself and concerns the specified region, it does not matter whether your work covers part or the whole of the region. |
| Judging standard |
Using UC-win/Road is mandatory for the creation of the work.
In addition, contestants must use at least one or more of FORUM8's software/solutions
to create their work, which must have the element of the BIM/CIM and VR
and the capability of being used in these disciplines.
The works will be evaluated by how the new design was created in terms
of the availability of BIM/CIM and also VR, duration of creating work and
its quality, logicality and technical capabilities, and originality and
presentation skills will also be evaluated.
