The Challenge
The complex cut stone and masonry interfaces required a structural solution which depended on minimal tolerances and a clear understanding of sequencing.
The SOLID Approach
We developed a BIM model to evaluate available fixing points and to sequence the installation of the masonry panels which are curved along the arches. This became the main tool for coordinating various geometries, multiple material interfaces and various contractors.
