The 5th Virtual Design World Cup
The 5th Students BIM & VR Design Contest on Cloud
-Cloud-based design competition for civil engineering and construction works with BIM/CIM and VR! -
Theme 2015
"Redevelopment of Keelung Station Area in Taiwan"
This is an international design competition for students to compete amongst each other in designing an innovative architecture, bridge and city design using BIM/CIM &VR technologies.
Every year students compete for the top prize which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and creativity. They plan and design their work based on the theme and then run a simulation. Their final model will be presented to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist students with the production of their work, we plan to carry out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students who will make use of software from now on. Also you can communicate and collect a lot of information without having to visit the local area by participating various workshop reviews through the Web and VR forum ( 3D cloud BBS ). The 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 students from different departments majoring in different field of studies to make a team to work on their model together to demonstrate that BIM/CIM can be used in various discipline.

Theme 2015
"Redevelopment of Keelung Station Area in Taiwan"
It was decided that the target site for VDWC2015 will be Keelung Station Area in Taiwan. This is the first time that a location outside Japan has been the focus of the competition. Keelung is a major port city accessible in about 40 minutes by car traveling North from Taipei.
We are looking for ideas that add an attractive element to the 3D space within the target site. Ideas that have the potential of promoting the good coordination of the various functions of the station. This includes catering for passenger traffic, focusing on the alleviation the flow of mingling pedestrians.
The objective is to assist in the regeneration of the city of Keelung, and in addition, add value to the aspect of usability, energy conservation, as well as suggesting measures that could mitigate against future disasters.
The judges will expect that the final work shows the effective use of simulation with BIM function in the overall design, and the effective use of VR in the presentation script, allowing the viewer to navigate through the target 3D VR space, something difficult to experience when only 2D drawings are used. |
