Underground Tunnel (on plan or site)?

[artitech]

I have an underground tunnel that will be connecting between two buildings in my project.

I am going to be doing the site separate from the building.

Should I draw the tunnel on the site or as part of my building project?

Suggestions?

Model it in the site.

Refer THIS THREAD (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=4809&highlight=tunnel).

Very helpful, thank-you.

It's tough deciding what to do as part of the building and what to do as the site... logic should prevail, but I guess I'm "afraid" that the more I leave to the site may in the end give me troubles where it meets up to my building...this is my first Revit project..nothing like being thrown in with the lions.

Everything you see so far on the attached images is part of the building project, I haven't started modelling the site yet.

Hey there,
Very nice looking project. What is it?

Steven,

No insult intended, but what do you think this building function would be?

I ask this because it's my thesis project (completing while working full-time) and it is designed to create an awareness of place - the site and its surroundings. I realize you don't know the site so it would be difficult to judge it's success in meeting the thesis.

But I'm curious what the building form and image suggests to others who are not familira with the locality... (this would actually help test my thesis).

(I'll give the answer later)

Very nice looking project.

Public building - convention centre or aircraft terminal ? perhaps... :mrgreen:

I'll take a shot. Museum.

I was hoping it was a new bowling center!

It is a public waterfront building. It has cultural and heritage components that draw on the history of the locality (ship building, grain elevators, industry...). It faces the "Sleeping Giant", for those who are not familiar - it's an enormous land mass (rock/mountain) that sits out from shore and shelters the local harbor.. legend has it that it was an Ojibway Indian that had violated a sacred silver mine and as punishment, was turned to stone to guard the harbor and silver mine from intruders...

It's actually what our local waterfront really needs to get it's development off the ground (no pun intended).

Really nice looking project.
