Design an octagonal timber building with a radial roof and an annex, starting from the architectural model.
We modelled the structure with finite elements and checked columns, beams and the roof truss for dead load, snow, wind and earthquake. The structural IFC model was overlaid on the architectural one to coordinate changes.
