"Located in a natural forest at the edge of Kiev, Ukraine, this $120 million, 250-bed children’s hospital includes a five-story treatment/diagnostic building and five three-story ward blocks. The wards are separated from the main building by elegantly curving two-story bridges. An organic atrium wraps around the main hospital building, complementing the surroundings and providing a spectacular focal point.
BDP created a 3D model of the atrium’s surface geometry to visualize and adapt various design options. Using GenerativeComponents enabled the design team to test complicated surface geometries and cladding patterns in minutes—a process that would have taken days using traditional design software. The software also allowed the team to optimize the surface geometries and individual member layouts to strike a balance between visual aesthetics and structural performance."—Bentley
