A PARADIGM SHIFT IN AEC THINKING

Computational design has firmly established its role within the AEC industry as a transformative approach across multiple disciplines, offering new possibilities in efficiency, innovation, and performance optimisation.

It permeates diverse practices, from architectural form-finding to the nuanced complexities of structural engineering – enabling the creation of optimised structures through advanced simulation and analysis techniques.

WHY SHIFT TO COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN THINKING

With mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, computational design has a significant role to play.

The application of computational design within MEP engineering is growing rapidly, marked by a high-level integration in calculations, interoperability, modelling, and analysis. It ingeniously tailors energy-efficient solutions, streamlines fabrication processes, and ensures seamless system integrations, all while being supported by the robust framework of Building Information Modelling (BIM).

At firms like Ramboll, they already have a dedicated computational design team within the MEP discipline that focuses on developing workflows and cutting-edge solutions for our clients. 

NEXT-GENERATION THINKING

Daily interactions with team members from varying generational cohorts provide a front-row seat to the impact of age and experience on problem-solving and design thinking.

Young graduates bring a natural ability and enthusiasm for using technology to the table, and a hunger for innovation, often acting as catalysts within our workflows.
