Looking for some help on my Senior Thesis Project.  The topic is Coastal Resilience in the Wake of Climate Change.  I have two sites I'm working with, one is a century old gambrel that I'd like to retrofit to float using homes of the Netherlands as a precedent.  The other is a massive town hall that will experience flooding during high tides once SLR reaches 6'; I am using Carlo Scarpa's Fondazione Querini Stampalia for this precedent.

 

My questions:

  • Is there a way for me to model SLR in Chief Architect, illustrating my design solutions for each site?  If yes, how?
  • Is there a different program you know of that I should use instead?

Being able to model my design solutions is essential to graduating in 7 weeks.  Any help, advise, suggestions give will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Chief should be able to handle modeling the buildings. IF you can accurately model the terrain in Chief, then the sea-level rise can be easily simulated (not animated, though) be creating a 3D plane and adjusting it's elevation - this can be used to illustrate the shoreline encroachment. I think the kicker is the terrain modeling. If you don't need absolute accuracy, or if you have an existing terrain dataset, then Chief should be adequate.
