Parametric Cultural Centre

Create a contemporary cultural centre inspired by parametric architecture and modern timber engineering. The building footprint is an irregular pentagon approximately 85 m × 60 m. The structure consists of three interconnected volumes surrounding a central glazed atrium. Main Volume Create a five-storey primary building volume. Overall height: 24 m. Floor-to-floor height: 4.5 m. Use a reinforced concrete core positioned off-centre to contain vertical circulation. External walls should follow a gently curved profile with a radius varying between 40 m and 120 m. Wall thickness: 300 mm. Central Atrium Generate a freeform elliptical atrium measuring 35 m × 22 m. Extend the atrium through all storeys. Cover the atrium with a diagrid glass roof. Roof apex elevation: 32 m. Diagrid spacing: 2.5 m. Structural members: circular steel tubes Ø300 mm. Timber Roof Structure Create a long-span cross-laminated timber roof over the public exhibition hall. Roof span: 42 m. Roof geometry should follow a double-curved surface generated from two intersecting splines. Maximum roof height: 28 m. Minimum roof height: 16 m. Use glulam arches spaced every 6 m. Arch section: 1200 mm × 300 mm. Facade System Generate a parametric curtain wall. Divide the facade into vertical panels 1.5 m wide. Panel height varies according to floor levels. Apply adaptive triangular shading fins. Fin depth should vary continuously between 400 mm and 1200 mm based on solar exposure. Maintain continuous alignment across all storeys. Public Plaza Create a stepped urban plaza on the south side. Plaza dimensions: 60 m × 40 m. Introduce three landscaped terraces. Vertical difference between terraces: 1.2 m. Generate retaining walls integrated with seating. Include water channels embedded within paving geometry. Structural Logic Model all primary structural members as real solids, not symbolic representations. Ensure beams intersect columns physically. Create realistic floor slabs with openings around the atrium. Maintain structural continuity between foundations, columns, beams, and roof system. Avoid floating geometry. Every visible element should have constructible dimensions. Openings Generate floor-to-ceiling glazing around the atrium. Exterior glazing panels should vary between 2.5 m and 4.5 m in width. Create 18 m high entrance portals on the southern facade. Integrate recessed balconies into upper floors. Expected Result Produce a highly detailed BIM-ready architectural model with accurate spatial relationships, realistic construction logic, complete structural hierarchy, and fully enclosed watertight geometry suitable for further detailing and documentation.
