What We Do

The Ramboll Computational Design group was formed in 2006 to research the practical application of digital technology. They aim to challenge traditional structural typologies using the computer as the tool and nature as the inspiration. The group produces economic solutions to problems involving architecture, structure, fabrication and the environment. Their work is driven by a belief that early collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach lead to more complete solutions – creating more sustainable, innovative and leaner buildings.

 
 

How do we do it?

The group is skilled in the use of the latest parametric CAD software and has a deep knowledge of the underlying mathematics of form. They write their own parametric scripts to capture the iterative mathematical intelligence that underpins natural processes. These innovative scripts can then be applied to solving engineering problems. Each script contributes to an evolving new language for design that creates possibilities for optimisation that simply did not exist before.

Why do we do it?

Innovation happens because there are new design challenges to be met. Traditional methods and standard solutions may be inadequate in solving a problem. The Computational Design group responds to the question “is there a better way to build it?” by developing dedicated techniques to determine the best adapted solution. This flair for imagining new ways forward in digital design produces practical, cost-saving solutions that add value for our clients.
