Working file for Gherkin construction

Arrangement of the floors

Floor-to floor height is 4.20 M at 1 to 600 that is 7 cm.

The main issue is now to find the individual, to scale floor plans

Different floor plans to scale Far left Ground floor plan Far right mezzanine level at the top one to the right from far left restaurant level

Gherkin digital model: http://shades198.rssing.com/chan-6334565/all_p5.html Gherkin model But the third office was the Gherkin, which I did develop further for a while, trying to turn it into a tutorial for architecture students who wanted to build the model for themselves. That was also lots of fun, but after three lengthy posts I ran out of steam. The model as it stands is a bit like a semi-peeled onion, revealing the underlying structure. My intention, in all this work is educational: to use BIM as a tool for understanding our built history. So it's not always necessary to create a complete replica of the original. It's all about the thought processes that kick in while you are modelling. Learning by doing.
