Marcin Klocek

Registered architect (Hong Kong)

MSc Arch & Urban Design, ARBHK, HKIA

BIM & digital project delivery expert

CCBM, HKIA BIM Pro, HKIBIM Board Member, Former Chairman of the Hong Kong CIC Task Group for BIM Specification

Biography:

With background in both architecture and computer programming and more than 20 years of experience as a practicing architect and digital design leader in Europe, Middle East and Asia Marcin strives to combine his theoretical and practical knowledge to drive digital change for design and construction organizations, both private and public.

In Hong Kong, he was involved in design and digitalisation of some of the major architectural and infrastructural projects like MTR XRL Station, Tuen Mun South Extension and Tung Chung Line Extension. For several years he also taught BIM and digital design methods as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong (HKU). Teaching strengthened his belief that complex topics should and can be explained in a simple and user-friendly way and that responding to the practical needs of the design and construction practitioners is of the utmost importance in managing digital transformation.

As a Senior BIM Manager of MTR Corporation (2018-2022) Marcin drove the corporate efforts to digitalize the process of project design and management for a capital business unit of a large and complex organization. Through his roles in the HK Construction Industry Council (CIC) – a chairman of a Task Groups for BIM Specification and a member of a Task Group for BIM Special Conditions of Contract he is also honored to having contributed to the digital transformation of the wider construction sector in Hong Kong.

PROJECT INFORMATION

The first of new MTR mega-projects was an ambitious attempt to digitalize for the first time in MTR the project design, information management and construction process using BIM tools, Common Data Environment (CDE) with digital workflows for design (WIP), submission (SHARING), review and approval (PUBLISHING) of deliverables. The requirements for BIM and information management process were incorporated into the contract based on NEC 4 form and ISO 19650 standard.

PROJECT INFORMATION

A pilot project for the HK Govt, selected by MTR for evaluating the digital design and delivery methods because of its relatively compact size and non-critical time schedule. Tested various solutions - succcessful like CDE, drawing generation from the model and less successful like automatization of rebar modeling and generation of rebar shop drawings.

BIM LOD 350 – architecture

BIM TOOLS USED RHINO, GRASSHOPPER, REVIT, REVIT API, C#

PROJECT INFORMATION

Uniqueness and complexity of the architectural design of the roof of WKT Entrance Building required quite special methods and procedures to rationalize and document the project. During the conceptual design it turned out that no single software platform would give the architects all the results that were needed. Rhino, which was the tool used for creating the conceptual model at an early stage, had later to share the workload with Revit. Rhino was mostly used for parametric modeling and coordination with Structural team and Revit for more detailed modeling, optimization and scheduling of cladding as well as producing the documentation.

Conclusions wherepassed asdesign constraintstothe Structuralteam, whichupdatedtheirdesignparametersorproposedanalternativesolution.Afterconfirmingthegeometry,the Structural team generated a “stick model” of the structure, which was automatically converted into steel members in Revit by a purpose written script. Apart from that Rhino generated tables of coordinates of points describingthesettingoutofpanelsin3Dspace.

Stage 3. Optimization of cladding panels and glazing sizes by an external purpose written script.
