Moses Mabhida Stadium

The Stadium rendered on C4D

Client: Durban Strategic Projects

Lead Architect: Theunissen Jankowitz

The Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa, forms a part of the South Africa Fifa 2010 World Cup facilities.

This model was created in ArchiCAD for client coordination purposes. All project details were fully modeled, including doors and windows as per schedule and balustrading, roof edge, cat walk and other detailing. This work was kept up to date to construction detailing level throughout.

The project was assembled with a combination of hotlinked modules and teamwork in terms of the ArchiCAD 3D model and was supported by Xref for 2D CAD consultant data updates. This process of live data links and updates was essential to maintain model accuracy during the frenetic detailing update cycle of the “fast track” construction process.

A live link was also maintained with the Cinema4D rendering file, which again required constant updates for client interrogation.

Several 3D output formats were sourced from the 3D model for use by a broad spectrum of associated project consultants.
