Quarter «Glasi», Bülach ZH
On the site of the former glass factory in Bülach Nord, the «Glasi», an urban, lively quarter for everyone, is being developed. With around 560 apartments and more than 20,000 m2 commercial space, the new quarter offers lots of room for living, working, and being. An essential element is the courtyard, which is designed in the shape of four larger, triangular spaces and intended to serve as a meeting place.
The greatest challenge is the management and coordination of seven sub-projects with a total of 21 separate buildings and a 3-level underground parking garage into one open, aggregated master model as an OpenBIM project in IFC. The planning team and the planning process, which is entirely conducted using the BIM method, are both managed by the partnership of DUPLEX Architekten and IttenBrechbühl.
