Martin Tamke – DURAARK

data.duraark.eu listed as research data repository on re3data.org

Martin Tamke — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 07:45:23 +0000

The Duraark repository is recognised as important source of data from the construction industry and was hence listed on re3data.org ( http://doi.org/10.17616/R34N43 ) . re3data.orglists 1,500 research data repositories, making it the largest and most comprehensive registry of data repositories available on the web. However only a few datasets are available from construction industry. The Duraark consortium is happy to change this a bit.

data.duraark.eu is among the three shortlisted entries for the Dutch Dataprize 2016!

Martin Tamke — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 16:22:20 +0000

We are happy to hear, that our data repository data.duraark.eu is one of the three shortlisted entries for the Dutch Data Prize 2016 in the category exact and technical sciences. The other areas are humanities and social sciences and medical and life sciences – as well with three nominees each. On November 9, the jury will announce the three winners of the Dutch Data Prize 2016.

Though we are excited to hear about the results we are happy about the Juries acknowledged for the unique and dataheavy collection of Point Cloud and BIM data of buildings, that we published on www.data.duraark.eu!

DURAARK results presented in CAD-Q seminar

Martin Tamke — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:12:43 +0000

CADQ-Q provided a Point Cloud consisting of 344 scans, which was automatically transfomed into an BIM model using the DURAARK IFC reconstruction component within Rhino/Grasshopper.

CITA members presented today the results of DURAARK in the “Reality Capture” seminar organized by CAD-Q Scandinavia.
The seminar was co-organized by FARO and addressed stakeholders from facility- and infrastructure management. In focus was the state of the art in laserscanning and related modelling tools. These offer an increasing amount of automation, predominately for the positioning of single elements.

The DURAARK presentation highlighted the research question and provided the participants with a nice outlook into future highly automated processes for the generation and query of semantically rich building models. A massive point cloud provided by CAD-Q served as demo for the DURAARK components.

DURAARK publication on automated creation of BIM models from Point Clouds

Martin Tamke — Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:51:49 +0000

The DURAARK partners from University of Bonn (Ochmann, S., Vock, R., Wessel, R., and Klein, R. ) have recently published ajournal article on the “Automatic Reconstruction of Parametric Building Models from Indoor Point Clouds” in the highly esteemed journal “Computers & Graphics”.

The paper introduces and discusses the approaches to the generation of BIM models from laser scan data. The outcome of this research is very promising and has been tested on an extensive set of Point Clouds, that were collected from stakeholders. Many of these are as well publicallyavailable on data.duraark.eu

DURAARK releases new version of VOLVOX Point Cloud Plugin for Rhino

Martin Tamke — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 17:09:37 +0000

The DURAARK partner CITA has released version 0.3.0.0 of the popular point cloud plugin VOLVOX for Rhino/Grasshopper. The highlight of this release is the full support of E57 format (im- and export).
Further new features in Volvox 0.3.0.0 :
– Volvox is now distributted with an installer
– E57 Exporter – also within the Engine/EngineX
– Script Cloud component enables the user to write custom VB.NET code to process the point cloud
– E57 Metadata now outputs scanner positions
– Point cloud type now stores the scanner position as well (that’s useful with E57 files. Position follows the transformations of the point cloud
– Several reported bugs were killed

The plugin can be downloaded from here (food4Rhino)
Manuals, Forums and discussions are on here (Grasshopper3d)
and the source code for the plugin is finally available on the DURAARK github and for the .net E57 library as well here on Github

DURAARK at builingSMART day 2015 at the Danish Technological University – Impressions

Martin Tamke — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 13:53:43 +0000

Henrik Leander Evers and Per-Kristian Hansson from CITA presented the DURAARK project on the 26. November 2015 in the frame of the builingSMART day at the Danish Technological University . The event informed about the latest trends concerning Building Information Modelling, with a special focus on the needs of Building Owners, Architects and Engineers and Information exchange. A market place for ideas and discussions related to buildingSMART was the theme of the day, which was thoroughly discussed by all participants representing the entire knowledge chain of the building industry. The participants included developers, architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers and personal from facility management.

The DURAARK team demonstrates, how the semantic web technologies, developed in DURAARK, allow to connect highly different building models, such as IFC and Point Cloud data. Visitors had as well the opportunity to check their internal organisation of building data in terms of longterm access, when they took part in a survey about sustainability in building data. Participants agreed, that thinking about long term access to BIM data is of immanent importanc
e for every stakeholder, that invests into these technology and processes.

Participants of the buildingSMART day showed a huge interest in the DURAARK project, especially about the latest advancements in the automatic generation of BIM files in the open IFC format from indoor Point Cloud scans. But there was as well a lot of interest in the archival strategies of DURAARK.

DURAARK thanks the organisers of this day – especially Markus Lampe from DTU and Rikke Carlsen from bips.dk .

DURAARK workshop @ GeoBIM 2015 in Amsterdam

Martin Tamke — Sat, 21 Nov 2015 17:59:36 +0000

The increasing use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) challenges the way the building profession is handling the massive amount of building data. Technologies, which are used to access and retrieve information from the web, provide solutions to this problem. Especially semantic web approaches are of high interest here.
A workshop to these approaches and their benefit for building industry is given by a joint team from TU Eindhoven (Jacob Beetz & Thomas Krijnen), L3S Hannover (Stefan Dietze) and CITA Copenhagen (Martin Tamke and Henrik Leander Evers). The workshop ” Building Data and the Semantic Web” takes place n Friday the 11. December in the frame of the GeoBIM Europe conference in Amsterdam.

It and introduces participants to the general ideas of the semantic web, how these can create benefits for the building industry and finally how approaches developed in the EU project DURAARK support this.
We are excited to organize this event and invite practitioners to partake in the GeoBIM conference – http://www.geo-bim.org/Europe/agenda.html#friday-2015

Sustainable Building Information Workshop 12. November 2014 – Copenhagen – Presentations Online

Martin Tamke — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 22:56:44 +0000

The Sustainable Building Information Workshop on 12. November 2014 gathered practitioners, researchers, software developers and members of the archival community in order to discuss the ongoing shift in the operation, design, documentation and construction of buildings. Here formerly separated working practices merge to a digital lifecycle of building information. more information on the background and motivation of the day here.

The event was structured around a set of lectures that introduced the currents state and questions in research and practice – visited through the perspectives of institutional building owners, Facility management software developers and the DURAARK project. The day presented for the later a great opportunity to receive stakeholder feedback on the currents state of the project. For this we want to thank every participants for their valuable time and feedback.
