Putting Together a Planetarium

An architectonic science and planetarium addition to a Mid Atlantic university requires an underground utility tunnel under an adjacent loading dock. There is also a new curving ramp to the dock, a plaza, rain garden, terrace, green roof and planetarium dome. Construction would take place in three distinct phases; a first phase associated with the tunnel, a second general phase, and a third late phase mostly associated with sitework. This project nearly runs the gamut of construction visualization, from utility tunnels to underpinning to concrete framing and environmental amenities. The worksite excavation and grading for the ramps and terraced parking areas required intensive terrain engagement. The changing worksite perimeter incorporated branding and signage to communicate wayfinding. Consequently, this project has yielded a great quantity of exemplary pieces of visualization.

Underpinning, Excavation, and Foundation Operations. A 4d section illustrating early work associated with the new addition foundation. 4d sections get to the bottom of difficult topics, like this section showing underpinning and karst stone handling. One picture communicates pages of hemming and hawing so you can move on to more pleasant subjects.	Planetarium and Other Architectural Feature Analysis. Schematic design by nature is not complete. We need to finish what the designers sketched so that we can talk construction. See analysis of the planetarium, rain garden, green roof, terrace, screen wall, and general architecture. These images help prove your firm is on target.	Perimeter Phasing Visuals. Views that describe the worksite perimeter on a busy university campus. Phase 1 loading dock gate and access, phase 2 entry and exit gates, and phase 3 parking terrace gate. Check out the phase 1 west gate.
