MUNCH Bjørvika
An IFC4 model of the MUNCH museum, Oslo, built from photographs, OpenStreetMap footprints and published figures. Drawn first, then modelled, compared with the photos and checked on the VibeIFC cloud service.
VibeIFC Commercial Showcase & Soundtrack
Cinematic presentation of the MUNCH museum OpenBIM model featuring contextual audio branding, progressive parametric assembly, and drawing sheets.
Model views
Rendered by the VibeIFC headless renderer, which also serves vibeifc_capture_viewport. Glass and the perforated screen are partly transparent, so the escalators show through the west face.
Blueprint sheets
Generated from the same spec that builds the IFC, so drawing and model cannot drift apart. Dimensions in mm, levels in m. The model's X axis runs along the tower, so sheet titles give the true compass side. Tap a sheet for the full-size vector drawing.

- Pass
vibeifc_get_bounding_box: roof fascia top +57 400 mm. Crown east wall moves 5 642 mm over 15 500 mm of height, which is 20.0°. Podium north face 53 200 mm deep. - Pass

vibeifc_capture_viewportshows the whole building on the cloud service. - PassElevations and renders compared with photos 1–4. Fixed after review: dimensions on the wrong side, sign hidden by the viewer palette, the screen reading as a grid instead of corrugated bands.
- AssumedCore positions, depth of the dynamic zone, ground-floor doors, the street east of the building, the extent of the south basin and the foundations (piles not modelled). The perforation pattern is schematic. Gallery double heights are not modelled.
