The Corpus Museum in Oegstgeest, The NetherlandsThe journey into ones self or your body– is a dream thatmany people have and could previously only beexperienced in the cinema. But that's all changed nowwith the opening of the Corpus Museum, in Oegstgeest,the Netherlands. Opened this Spring, this special museumactively invites visitors to take a journey through the humanbody from head to toe and find out “in situ” how we work.This is made possible thanks to a 35-meter high figure ofwood and steel that flanks the narrow side of the glassmuseum structure. Designed by PBV Architecten,construction of the building was a particular challenge,which the commissioned designers from 3D BlueprintArchitects & Engineers overcame with flying colors.Thanks to Building Information Modeling and Allplan fromNemetschek, the Amsterdam-based architects were ableto complete the building on time and even remained belowthe planned budget.Building Information Modeling (BIM) relates to theconsistent use of a virtual building model across all phasesand disciplines of design, construction and management.Thus, BIM makes it possible to design constructionprojects that are inexpensive, free of errors and on time.This is exactly what Joep Esser and Wubbo Hazewinkelhad in mind when they founded their company six yearsago, and they have therefore used BIM and Allplan fromthe very start: “3D Blueprint's goal is to build better and atlower cost through effective cooperation,” explains JoepEsser, managing director of the company.The architects and engineers have developed their ownworking method for this, known as the “Regiplan method”,which is based on BIM. In Allplan's virtual building model,all project-relevant information is entered centrally andThe designers draw up the project requirements with thebuilding client in advance in a “building program”, whichformulates a clearly defined and feasible goal. An initial(basic) three-dimensional building model is created for thisin Allplan, which allows reliable statements to be made onquantities and costs on the basis of the assigned materialproperties. Economic factors can therefore be taken intoconsideration from the start and tracked over the entireproject period: “For decision-making, the coupling ofplanning and costs enables us to identify the lower-costoption and therefore counteract incorrect developments atan early stage,” explains Joep Esser. “As a result, we areable to reduce the costs of a building project by 10 – 15percent, for example, or to deliver a higher-quality buildingat the same construction costs.”
