Project Summary

Organization:  Johnson Pilton Walker

Solution: Buildings and Campuses

Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Project Objectives:

• To design an iconic sustainable tower structure as part of urban revitalization and redevelopment of Western Sydney.
• To leverage digital twins to streamline collaboration and coordinate design workflows.

Project Playbook:

OpenBuildings™ Designer

Fast Facts

• JPW implemented computational design to deliver an iconic, sustainable centerpiece tower for the Parramatta Square urban renewal initiative.
• The GenerativeComponents feature in OpenBuildings Designer helped JPW leverage Excel data to develop scripts and perform parametric modeling to accommodate the expedited timeline.
• Working in a connected data environment facilitated collaborative design by generating a digital twin.

ROI

• Bentley’s computational design application reduced modeling time for the façade panels from two weeks to less than one hour.
• The interoperability of OpenBuildings Designer with Excel automated design processes to save significant time, resources, and costs.
• Extracting data and documentation directly from the digital twin resulted in more accurate deliverables.
