Urban Mixed-Use Design Challenge-Design a centrally located mixed-use building in Autodesk Revit with commercial spaces (Ground + 1st floor) and residential units (up to 8 floors). 1 Level of Basement (Car Parking + EV Charging), Total (B+G+9)(Note: Plot size and all required dimensions may be assumed by students (in mm units).

Official description

• Description • Facade-Driven Architectural Expression-Develop an innovative facade system that enhances architectural aesthetics, responds to climate (light, heat, ventilation), and blends with the surrounding urban context. • Breathable & Nature-Integrated Design-Incorporate a central landscape courtyard and green interfaces (terraces, balconies) to create an airy, breathable structure that integrates nature and improves occupant well-being. • Residential & Commercial Design Efficiency-Ensure functional planning for commercial activation on lower floors and well- designed residential units above, with optimal daylight, ventilation, privacy, and views. • Structural Modeling & Detailing-Create 2D structural drawings for key components such as beams, columns, and slabs, including necessary detailing.The model should include all essential building elements: beams, columns, slabs, stairs, and tile flooring. • Good to Have (Optional) - Site Compatibility & Environmental Analysis (Using Forma Site Design)-Utilize Forma Site Design to study site orientation, sun path, wind conditions,and massing strategies, ensuring the design is environmentally responsive and contextually appropriate. (1-2 Hour) • High-Quality Visual Presentation & Walkthrough-Deliver a pictorial, design-focused presentation including rendered views, facade studies, diagrams, and a 30-second walkthrough animation.Rendering quality and visual storytelling will be key evaluation criteria. • Participation Guidelines For Idea Submission: • Each student team should submit Revit 3D Model of a Basement Parking + Ground + First Floor that creates a vibrant urban destination while seamlessly integrating nature, sustainability, and user well-being and a PowerPoint presentation (5-7 Slides). • Models should be created using ONLY Revit and not copied or taken from any other source. • AI Generated content is NOT ALLOWED. For Grand Finale: Students must use Autodesk Revit to design and create 3D Model of specific mixed used building within the given time period and present the following to the jury members: Design a B+G+9 mixed-use development that brings together active commercial spaces and sustainable residential living. Create a nature-integrated, climate-responsive building centered around a landscaped courtyard that enhances daylight,ventilation, and occupant well-being. Key Deliverables: • Commercial podium (Basement Parking + Ground + First Floor) with retail, cafés,and community spaces. • Residential levels (2nd–9th Floor) featuring efficient layouts, balconies, natural ventilation, and privacy. • Innovative climate-responsive facade with shading elements and green terraces. • Central landscaped courtyard as the project's defining feature. • Complete Autodesk Revit model with architectural and structural elements,including detailed drawings. • Optional Autodesk Forma studies for sun, wind, and environmental analysis. • High-quality presentation with renders, diagrams, facade studies, and a 30-second walkthrough animation. • PPT explaining the final project. • Complete Structural reinforcement drawing of any one floor along with detailing. • Complete 3D Model. • Rendered images and Walkthrough video (30 secs.) of the final Model. Note: Teams coming with pre-designed files will be disqualified. • Attach Marking Criteria Table here* • Faculty (SIH SPOC) Form Teams choosing to submit idea for Autodesk’s problem statement are required to request their faculty (SIH SPOC) to fill this 'Mandatory Form'. • Autodesk Revit • Autodesk Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software primarily used by architects, engineers, and construction professionals to design, model, and document buildings and infrastructure in 3D. • Students and educators can click Here to get FREE access to Revit.
