For this project, I am part of Team Project - 06 and the team members are Castro, Voznyak, and Yau. Our topic for this project is Senior Design Project with BIM.
The discussion being raised for this post is "Describe project - why chosen, relation to IB, challenges". One way to represent this would be to post the outline we have completed. But for a better understanding, the project is going to be based of the design of a community center for children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The center will be able to provide public spaces to use for activities, as well as private spaces such as offices for administrative staff and therapeutic rooms for behavioral and social analysis.
The reason we decided to choose this project because three of us are part of the senior design group. But having a fourth partner will allow for new ideas and visions that can be implemented that will greatly differ this project from the actual Senior Design Project. This project was also chosen because there are many aspects of Revit and BIM that will not be addressed during the Senior Design process and will be used and interpreted and understood during this project. Some of these programs are addressed in the outline and hoping to use Navisworks ad Green Building Studio. There are many Autodesk products that we can benefit from that would not have been explored otherwise.
This project can and will relate to Intelligent Buildings based on the idea that the building itself and its components are "Intelligent". There are going to be many technological components included in this building, such as cameras and security system, WiFi, and lighting with dimmers. For readers not aware, those with ASD are very sensitive to lights, so implementing an in-depth and high-tech electrical system will be pertinent.
There are many challenges for this project. One of the big challenges is going to be the implementation of a 4D construction simulation, which means the 3D model connected with time scheduling. This could also be done with costs. This will be difficult because our group does not have all the experience necessary to do something this detailed, so it will be a learning process and very helpful for this project. Another challenge will be designing two unique models and their building systems. This will be time consuming but will allow the group to have a better understanding of the process.

In response to the posts written by G. Papadourakis, R. Moore, and T. Castonguay, the idea of 3D printing and construction sounds very interesting. The outline was easy to follow as all of the different ideas/topics being addressed are presented. It is nice to see how your group is going to break down the work as well.
In response to the posts written by M. Price and K. Saldivar, the topic of Intelligent vs. Green Building is going to be a very detailed topic to discuss. There are so many questions that can arise with if it is Intelligent, is it Green? and vice versa. From what I can tell, you are going to do a research paper about that and compare the two, and I believe you will be able to discuss LEED and how to implement both like you mentioned in your posts.
In response to the post written by S. Uribe, your topic caught my eye right away. It stood out and sounded different than the rest of the projects and I was intrigued. Your post on Automated Home Systems was to the point and mentioned exactly what you expect to research and discuss. As you mentioned, you are going to look at technology in the United States as well as abroad. I think it would be very interesting to see how far advanced/behind we are comparatively.
