Farnsworth House, modelled in Revit

Using the Archi Automate MCP, model [the building] in this open Revit project from the survey sheets in [survey folder]. Read the dimensions off the sheets, written dimensions before measuring by scale, and write every element yourself: levels and materials, then the structure, floor and roof, then the glazing, then the core and fittings, then the stairs. Use no conversion program and no imported geometry. After each step, check the model with a read-only probe and export a view for review. List every dimension you assumed or measured by scale.

Method notes

This is a Revit modelling job. Claude, working as the AI assistant, built the model in Revit 2027 through the Archi Automate MCP: it wrote every element as a write task with revit_run_write_task and checked the model, exported views and saved with revit_run_readonly_csharp_probe. Every element was written from numbers read off the Historic American Buildings Survey sheets: HABS IL-1105, National Park Service, delineators J. Cellini, E. Milnarik, B. Roeder, 2009 (public domain). No conversion program, imported geometry or third-party model was used.

The clip only shows the result. It is made from Revit’s own line exports of one axonometric view, one per layer, composited and animated outside Archi Automate (Remotion, frames joined with ffmpeg). The glass fill and the lift were drawn in the edit; the lift is an exploded-view convention, not a record of how the model was made.

The Farnsworth House was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This model is an independent study made from the public survey. It is not endorsed by the Farnsworth House or the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
