The 5th Virtual Design World Cup
The 5th Students BIM & VR Design Contest on Cloud
-Cloud-based design competition for civil engineering and construction works with BIM/CIM and VR! -
Theme 2015
“Redevelopment of Keelung Station Area in Taiwan”
|
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.

| Title : Keelung Go! |
| Team Name : Penta-Planning University : National Chengchi University Country
: Taiwan |
|
| Overview |
|
We found out that the west side of the harbor is now facing a dreadful issue: There are nearly no space for pedestrians to walk. The area is oriented mostly for vehicles. Two roundabouts in front of the old station result in traffic congestion. To bring back the space for pedestrians, Keelung Go project would divide the space vertically: We would design two transit building. At the ground floor, we replaced the two roundabouts with a whole new traffic plan, inculding a bus transit center, a long-distance bus transit center and a kiss-and-ride stop. We conceived, at the first floor, a open space for pedestrians, connecting new north and south stations, west passenger terminal and the existing portal square all the way to the east side of Keelung harbor. he core urban design for pedestrians is the connecting overpass though the site and the open spaces created in between. The lack of open spaces has been a serious issue for Keelung. Therefore, we wanted to take great use of the first floors of the building in the site to provide a place for local people and tourists to stop by and take a rest. The roof greening would also add more green spaces to Keelung. Between the north station and west passanger
terminal is the Historical Park, where people can learn more about the city and its past. A tourist information would also situate inside, guilding people from the past to the presant. |

| Title : New Keelung Arterial Plan |
| Team Name : UTC-DIAN University : University of Transport and Communications Country
: Vietnam |
|
| Overview |
|
| We propose “desirable Future Keelung Station area”. Desirable area provides
local people best place to live with green space, convenience in service
and travel . The enviromental and transit redevelopment solutions should
be implemented for future sustainable development. We propose to establish
a Keelung transit corridor with a new central station as a gateway out
or in Keelung station area among transport modes. The central station is
expected to promote economic growth, tourism attraction and big transport
demand in the future. furthermore, it encourages local people and visitors
using public transit as (tod) for sustainable development. In addition,
environment friendly technologies and efforts are conducted: park, Eco-house,
tree cover street combination green urban mobility. It is expected that
redevelopment solutions brings us benefits of economy,transport, tourism....and
create happy and desirable city to enjoy and working. |

| Title : EMARA(Easy Mobility and Reactive Area) |
| Team Name : The Magic Team University : Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture Country
: China |
|
| Overview |
|
| The main concept in our design is to provide easy mobility and convenient
transfer routes for visitors and passengers. In our plan, there will be
various kinds of modes of transport including Bus, BRT, Subway, Taxi and
other vehicles in the Keelung station and the functions of each floor of
the station will be designed precisely to avoid the conflicts between the
pedestrian flows. Corridors are used to distribute pedestrians to different
destinations. In terms of the appearance of the station, earth covered
construction is applied in the station with streamlined design. We are
plan to create a 3E(ecological, environmental friendly and easy-mobility)
architecture. |

Theme2015 ： "Redevelopment of Keelung Station Area in Taiwan”
|
|
It was decided that the target site for VDWC2015 will be Keelung Station
Area in Taiwan, and this is first time that a location outside Japan is
set as target site since we launched the competition 4 years ago. Keelung
is a major port city accessible in about 40 minutes by car traveling North
from Taipei. The geography of the area with a deep inlet and surrounding
mountains is fit for a port, attributing to the city's long history as
a seaport dating back to the 17th century. It is still the second largest
container harbor in Taiwan, and ranks 39th in the world in container-handling
capacity. The Keelung Station area situated in the inner harbor is planned
for redevelopment to change Keelung's image and industry from cargo-shipping
to tourism and business purpose and to enable the city to function as major
seaport catering for a growing demand in those industries. As part of the
redevelopment project, construction to move the station's platform underground,
2 entrances to the station building located on the north and south side
of the station to different locations, and bus terminus above the new platform
is currently underway. The next phase of redevelopment project planned
to take place soon after the aforementioned construction involves the redevelopment
of the current station building and station front, which are bound to become
a major access point to the city, plus commercial facilities.
|
In addition, the construction of a large international cruise terminal whose design will be chosen through an international design competition is planned in the neighboring area, and when completed, the new terminal will attract many tourists on large passenger ships from around the world. Furthermore, other large railway traffic networks such as MRT and LRT are also under consideration, and the crucial element for the regeneration of the area from a historic town to an attractive tourist spot is indeed the redevelopment of the station front in such a way as to turn it into a major transportation node. Ideas in line with the theme that add an attractive element to the space within the target site with a potential of promoting a good coordination of various functions catering for passenger traffic focusing on those that alleviate the flow of mingling pedestrians which in turn causes a regeneration of the city of Keelung, and in addition, add a generic value to the aspect of usability, energy conservation, and measures against disasters are expected in the deliverables.
The works and design in which we can see that the effective use of simulation with BIM function for design process allows to theoretically support the bold proposal or complicated configuration and the effective use of VR in the presentation allows for the experience of navigating through VR space depicting the target site, something difficult to experience when only drawings are used, will be expected to be submitted. |
