Project 1 - Parametric Mass Modeling - Allianz Arena

  Project Information Case Study Specifications Allianz Arena  Location: Munich, Germany Architect: Herzog & de Meuron ArupSport Construction Date: 2002-2005 Size: 105 x 68 meters Seating Capacity: 75,000 Case Study Information Allianz Arena is home to the FC Bayern Football Club and the German National Football Team. The stadium's luminous facade is constructed with 2,874 ETFE-foil air panels that allow the building to be fully color changing. Project Intent The goal of this project is to create a parametric stadium family that allows the user to customize the size of the stadium to accommodate for the function of the events. The design of the stadium family is based on that of Allianz Arena. The exterior facade of the stadium is created with material parameters, allowing the building to be fully color changing as seen in the case study.  Modeling Process Form Creation The shape of the building in plan is essentially a rectangle with radiused corners. I built the parameter for
