Additional Information
Background
Yellamundie Library at Liverpool Civic Place is a contemporary public building unique to the City of Liverpool in New South Wales, Australia. Its distinctive architecture is inspired by the region’s natural landscape — while interiors, landscape, and design embody values of inclusion, welcome, community, learning, equality, and sustainability. Following a fire that destroyed the former site, Liverpool City Council identified the opportunity to revitalize the city’s southern main street. Project architects fjcstudio engaged Woolpert’s 3D building models for accurate site representation and design visualization.
Challenge
fjcstudio sought a single digital source of truth to support design precision, collaboration, and communication between members working on the same project, at the same time. This need was driven by industry trends aligning with evolving demands of architecture and design. Key factors included project complexity, visual realism, building information model integration, sustainability and performance analysis, as well as accelerated design-to-construction processes. They required simplified 3D models to enable seamless collaboration while working efficiently with their existing software.
Solution
Woolpert’s 3D models seamlessly integrated with fjcstudio’s main software, Archicad. This empowered project architects to accurately analyze visual impact, solar access, and shadow studies within the context of the site. Leveraging a purpose-fit spatially accurate representation of the area of interest allowed more time for design, and less time and resources fixed on modeling in-house.
Result
As a trusted geospatial partner, Woolpert’s 3D models act as a single source of truth for fjcstudio. Through site representation and concept visualization, fjcstudio bridged the gap between ideas and tangible outcomes. This provided clients and stakeholders with an immersive understanding of the design intent, fostering informed decision-making and engagement.
