| Title : Green Wave |
| Team Name : Dreams |
University: National University of Kaohsiung |
Country : Taiwan |
|
 Overview |
|
| The major concept of “Green Wave” is inspired by the Yarra river which was an important resource for the indigenous Australians and its tributaries were important meeting places between indigenous communities. Therefore, the Lorimer precinct will turn into a major access point to the city with a good coordination of various functions. Comprehensive and practical design solutions for the complex issues of usability, disaster prevention and sustainability will be simulated and presented with BIM/CIM and VR in this redevelopment plan. |

| Overview |
|
| Melbourne's people have intimate relations with trees.But nowadays,urban development scale is becoming bigger and bigger. Or Buildings constructed become higher and higher.Therefore people are lossing interest in the city. So that we propose the city not only solve the traffic problem like the tram but also recreate the relationship between the human and the tree.The city we proposed will bring the people interest in the city and the people may contact the city like the trees. |

| Title : Modern City Farming |
| Team Name : Old McDonalds Vertical Farm |
| University : The University of Western Sydney Country : Australia |
|
| Overview |
|
As a growing Melbourne extends its carbon footprint, particularly around food production, our team returns food production back into city life. This is achieved through proximity and engagement. There are opportunities for collaboration with a modernised agricultural focused High School, research and development hub, entrepreneurs and tested businesses.
To increase opportunity for collaboration, sky bridges will link modern high tech and sustainable buildings, and common areas will house both indoor gardens, and technology that optimises sharing information and ideas.
Introducing a wide variety of transportation options; including the light rail line that connects with the existing network; and lightly restricting car permeability to Lorimer will encourage patronage to these alternative options |

| Title : Melbourne Ripple |
| Team Name : Hen-hui studio |
University: National University of Kaohsiung |
Country : Taiwan |
|
| Overview |
|
| “Melbourne Ripple” is planned for the extension of the central city Melbourne to transform former industrial precincts into a series of modern, vibrant and distinctive areas. The design concept of this plan is inspired by the Yarra river which was a major food source and meeting place for indigenous Australians from prehistoric times. Therefore, the major transportation center will represent the landscape ecology and traditional culture of Australia. In addition, this plan will apply the functions of BIM/CIM and VR in the design processes to analysis and simulate the functionality, sustainability, ecology, and disaster prevention of the redevelopment plan. |

| Team Name : ICE-TCH |
University: University of Transport and Communications |
Country : Vietnam |
|
| Overview |
|
| For the theme “Extension of the central city Melbourne”, ICE - TECH team has an idea of designing and planning Fishermans Bend area (especially focus on Lorimer) following the topic “The Green Revolution of Lorimer.” Our goal is turning Lorimer into a green area, a flexible place with a strong connection to Melbourne City and the bay as well as a dynamic, mix of uses and activities place with high quality environment. This improvement can make not only Lorimer residents but Melburnians and visitors also love this city and consider it as one of the world’s most distinct place. It is a real revolution of Lorimer that changes Lorimer to “Friendly Green” city. To make that dream come true, we follow the “3R” idea standing for: RENEW, REFRESH, RELAXING. |

| University: Ritsumeikan University Country : Japan |
|
| Overview |
|
| Human culture often develops around river basins, e.g., the Ganges in India. We propose to develop the harbor region, Fisherman’s Bend, in Melbourne, where the Yarra River flows into the center, for use as business and residential amenities and for sightseeing. Buildings, similar in design to those seen in the United Kingdom, are present in this area. So our design makes reference to a view on the Thames. However, the water quality of the Yarra River is poor as it is affected by drainage from factories; the influence of an improvement in river water quality in the area is predicted by Virtual Reality. |

Comments by Professor Yasushi Ikeda, Chief of VDWC Executive Committee
It can be said that the level of VDWC itself is increasing annually in
tandem with the rapid development of BIM industry as expected by the competition
organizers. Interest from more participants around the world continues
to grow with VDWC 2016 moving to Melbourne, the theme of the competition
being "Extension of the central city Melbourne", building on
the success of last year's competition with a focus on the redevelopment
of Keelung Station area in Taiwan. And speaking of Taiwan, teams from Taiwan
really put on a show in this year's competition. With high overall ratings
on their projects, Taiwanese teams dominated the top of the rankings over
their competitors. Their achievement deserves a special mention considering
there were more contestants this year as compared with previous year. Inevitably,
teams from China fell shy of winning awards like their predecessors who
created many nominated works in the past competitions, but the fierce competition
produced many outstanding projects by all teams, resulting in an increase
in the overall quality of submissions so much so that the competition is
now worthy of being referred to as the 'world cup'. Works that not only
present the design proposals simply through various simulations using BIM,
but also demonstrate how the simulated design proposals played their role
in solving complex issues addressed in the contest theme to make the proposals
even more persuasive and appealing started making appearances. This clearly
accounts for the recent advancement in the level of the competition. It
is great to see teams competing at a level higher than ever in this international
competition, but at the same time this goes to show that there is now greater
demands for the benefits of using BIM than there was when the popularization
of BIM initiated. The diversification of solution strategies presented
by competing teams and the appearance of more projects that not only put
an emphasis on BIM as a predominant method for evaluating the overall value
of design proposals but also zero in on particular issues addressed in
the contest theme are other obvious signs of growing demand for BIM. A
surprising number of teams this year were actually aware that projects
which aim to present design solutions using interactive walkthroughs to
create a spatial experience rather than just 2D poster scores the most
points in persuasiveness. This is also a sign of positive change in the
sport of BIM and VR design contest. If the price of VR devices continues
to drop while popularization of VR keep its momentum, the kind of designs
that have never been presented in the competition as of today can be expected
to be invented by future contestants.

This is an international design competition for students to compete amongst each other in designing an innovative architecture, bridge and city design using BIM/CIM &VR technologies.
Every year students compete for the top prize which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and creativity. They plan and design their work based on the theme and then run a simulation. Their final model will be presented to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist students with the production of their work, we plan to carry out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students who will make use of software from now on. Also you can communicate and collect a lot of information without having to visit the local area by participating various workshop reviews through the Web and VR forum ( 3D cloud BBS ). The script of VR data created by FORUM8's software and a "Concept poster" (A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required for the final submission and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud judgment". We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by all means and consider this competition as an opportunity to create your masterpiece. We encourage students from different departments majoring in different field of studies to make a team to work on their model together to demonstrate that BIM/CIM can be used in various discipline.

"Extension of the central city Melbourne"
- Ideas for urban design in Fishermans Bend Urban Renewal Area - |
|
|
VR design for community
Forum8's Virtual Design World Cup (VDWC) has continued to expand year on
year, with growing interest from more participants around the world. The
potential increases further this year with VDWC 2016 moving to Melbourne,
capital city of the state of Victoria and the second largest city in Australia
in the southern Hemisphere. Fishermans Bend, located between the existing
Melbourne central city and Port Phillip Bay, is the largest, and one of
the most significant, urban renewal areas in Australia. The Victorian Government's
long term strategy for metropolitan Melbourne, which is called Plan Melbourne,
identifies Fishermans Bend as a key part of an expanded central city that
will transform former industrial precincts into a series of modern, vibrant
and distinctive areas..
In this grand plan, our subject of VDWC 2016 focuses on urban design proposals
in and around the Lorimer precinct. Lorimer, within the City of Melbourne
municipality, is adjacent to the existing central city - directly south
of Docklands and close to Southbank (urban renewal areas that have been
redeveloped since the 1990s) and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition
Centre.
The Victorian Government (with input from the City of Melbourne and other stakeholders) is preparing a precinct plan for Lorimer to achieve the vision for the precinct to be a great place with a vibrant mix of uses, including housing, employment and retail. The Fishermans Bend Strategic Framework Plan which was produced by Metropolitan Planning Authority in 2014 provides the current high level guidance for development.
Fishermans Bend is a complex project. Routes for new public transport services (which are vital to unlocking this area for redevelopment) have not yet been confirmed. The large Westgate Freeway and Citylink/Bolte Bridge structures divide the area and connections across, over or under those elevated roads are important. These are all considered among a background that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists over vehicles for neighbourhood access.
Provided VR data is around the Lorimer precinct. Please create your proposal
with a focus on this precinct.

Comprehensive and practical design solutions for the complex issues of landscape and traffic, amenity and sustainability, must be effectively simulated and persuasively presented with VR. The creativity of participants will be called on in first understanding previous discussions and current plans, and then focusing on innovative ideas for their design proposals.
