Virtual Design World Cup "2nd Student BIM & VR Design Contest on Cloud" -Compete on cloud for the most advanced architectural and civil engineering design using BIM and VR!- Theme 2012 "Sustainable Design of Marine City" This contest is an international design competition for students to compete amongst each other in designing innovative architecture, bridge and city design using BIM&VR. Every year students compete for the top price 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 and evaluated. To assist with the production, 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 visiting local area by the exhibition of various workshop reviews through the Web and the utilization of VR forum ( 3D cloud BBS ) The script of VR data is 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 and think our company as a place which will make your technology and production developed.

Now is the perfect time. To overcome threats from tsunamis and other disasters, we set the task to explore the possibilities to live on the sea in a safe and secure sustainable "Marine City". Using Tokyo, Osaka (Kobe) and Fukuoka as the subject areas, design a proposal for a man-made island with recreational and residential functionalities in VR. In a country like Japan, instead of opening up the forests and mountains, the best solution could be to develop onto the sea. Today, urban areas are more or less shrinking; therefore we tend to think that developing onto the sea is a bad thing. In this contest, students must challenge themselves to justify the development on the sea with the concept called sustainability. Keeping "biodiversity" as the keyword, aim to create new nature through artificial islands. Specifically, the issues to consider in the proposal are how to decide the location and the shape of the island, how to place roads, how to access the island, its self-sufficiency and the procurement of electricity, water and other infrastructure. Target area for design The areas shown in the VR model provided by FORUM8. The examples of main areas are the following. Tokyo Region: Area surrounded by Tokyo Big Site, Tokyo Disney Land, and Makuhari Messe Tokyo Sky Tree and tall buildings around Tokyo station can be seen in the distance and Aqua Line can be seen in the south. ●Kobe/Osaka Region: Osaka Bay surrounded by Wada Misaki, Kobe airport, and Kurisaki Universal Studio) Mt. Rokko and Awaji Island can be seen in the distance. ●Fukuoka Region: Area surrounded by Mt. Mouko, Kyushu University, vicinity of the Hakata station, Momochi, and Fukuoka Airport Genkai island, Shiga island and Nokono island are dispersed in the distance.

Virtual Design World Cup The 1st Student BIM&VR Design Contest On cloud -Competition of the advanced architectural civil design using BIM&VR on cloud !- Virtual Design World Cup This is an international design competition utilizing Building Information Models (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology to aid in the design of an innovative pedestrian bridge. The concept for this competition is based on the design of Shibuya bridge . a new way of imagining Tokyo' s most famous intersection. The criteria include architectural design and visualization of a pedestrian bridge/deck in, around, or above the context of this landmark. Participants must complete the design with a wide range of technologies in architecture and civil engineering, including the mandatory software packages UC-win/Road byForum8 Co. Ltd., and Allplan by Nemetschek. Judging is performed on the basis of various design aspects including architectural/landscape design, structural design, pedestrian/traffic control, wind analysis, internal landscape evaluation with walk-though, and eco-friendly design. Theme 2011 " SHIBUYA Bridge" Pedestrian Bridge Design-New equipment in urban space- FORUM8 will hold "Virtual Design World Cup - The 1st Student BIM&VR Design Contest on Cloud Services" where students compete for the advanced architecture and civil design using BIM and VR. This contest is an international design competition for the students to create an innovative architecture, bridge and city design by utilizing BIM&VR. Every year, a specific theme is provided and the participants compete by articulating their creativity and unique and innovative idea. They will plan and design their work and do a simulation based on the given theme. Their work should be presented in a form of VR data and its overall design will be evaluated by the judging committee. Contestants will be judged on how well they designed their work as well as how unique and innovative their idea is. The script of VR data (automatic presentation) and concept poster (A1PDF file) are required for the final submission and the judgement is performed on the basis of"VR Cloud judgement". We would like you to know Forum8's BIM and VR software and use this opportunity for creating the high-quality works and refining your technique.
