Benefits
of this Emerging Pacesetter Are Highlighted by Foster + Partners, Robin Partington & Partners (Merchant Square), Rogers
Stirk Harbour + Partners (Cancer Centre for Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospitals),
and Building Studio Architects of Australia
November 10, 2014 – Bentley Systems,
Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to
providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure, today announced that its emerging
pacesetter AECOsim Building Designer V8i is delivering significant
advantages for the world’s leading architectural and design projects. This collaborative
BIM advancement for the architectural design and multi-discipline engineering
of facilities spans architecture, engineering, and construction in a unified
environment. It supports an increased depth of information modeling that
affords users the analysis and simulation needed to interactively converge
towards better-performing assets through optioneering.
At the same time, AECOsim Building
Designer supports an increased breadth of information mobility – from design through construction
– for better-performing projects, especially through Bentley’s ProjectWise collaboration services for information mobility with
integrity.
Thirty-nine of
the 2014 Be Inspired Awards project
nominations credited AECOsim Building
Designer’s pacesetting capabilities on projects spanning 17 countries and
ranging from office buildings, hospitals, campuses, and underground rail
stations to bridges, power generation plants, wind farms, mining facilities, and
wastewater treatment plants. Organizations nominated for these projects included
Arabtec Construction, Arup, Bechtel India, Byggnadstekniska Byrån i Stockholm
AB, CH2M HILL, Guangdong Hydropower Planning & Design Institute,
ENERGOPROJEKT-KATOWICE SA, HDR, Ineco, John Wardle Architects, Morphosis
Architects, MWM Architekci, PowerChina Hubei Electric Engineering Corporation, and
signum+ architects.
Huw Roberts, Bentley vice
president, platform advantage, said, “Increasingly, AECOsim Building Designer is setting the pace for the unconstrained
architectural design and engineering of buildings of any size or scope. Its use
among top and rising firms
expands with each new release as we continue to bring innovations in
support of BIM advancement to the users of this single, integrated application. AECOsim Building Designer provides users
with architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical systems design,
simulation, and analysis tools, as well as construction documentation. Among the
firms whose projects are benefiting from its use are Foster + Partners, Robin
Partington & Partners, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners,
and Building Studio Architects of
Australia.”
Foster +
Partners is one
of the most innovative architectural and integrated design practices in the world.
Counted among its many achievements is the sustainable approach to architecture
that it pioneered over the past four decades. Last year, Foster + Partners
joined Bentley’s Enterprise License Subscription program, giving the firm unrestricted
access to Bentley’s comprehensive portfolio of architectural, engineering,
construction, geospatial, and operations software and learning offerings. Commenting
on the firm’s use of Bentley’s BIM advancement, Foster
+ Partners CIO Graham Young said, “We’ve been using AECOsim Building Designer for more than
two years now to exploit its integrated multi-discipline capabilities and
support our ultra-fast-paced, technically innovative projects. We have also
been pleased to provide input and feedback into its development, which has been
a characteristic of our relationship with Bentley over many years.”
John Ball, partner, Robin Partington &
Partners, a leading architectural firm that prides itself on combining the
benefits of a design-led approach with sound commercial sensibilities, said, “The combination of AECOsim
and excellent Bentley support has enabled our Merchant Square project in
Paddington, London, to quickly evolve into an integrated BIM workflow.” Merchant Square’s masterplan
comprises four new buildings on a 1.6 hectare site: 1 Merchant Square, a
42-storey mixed use tall building, hotel, residential with skybar; 2 Merchant
Square, a 17-storey office unit with commercial retail and two further
residential buildings; 3 Merchant Square to the east and 6 Merchant Square to
the west, with commercial and community facilities at their lower levels.
Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners is an international
architectural practice that for more than three decades has attracted critical
acclaim and awards with built projects across Europe, North America, and Asia. Its
design work includes the iconic Leadenhall Building and Millennium Experience,
both in London, U.K. Commenting on the firm’s first integrated BIM project, a GBP
160 million cancer treatment center in London, U.K., Willem Kok, associate, Rogers
Stirk Harbour + Partners, said,
“Bentley’s AECOsim Building Designer provides an increasingly flexible
platform for successful collaborative BIM. It enabled Rogers Stirk Harbour +
Partners to deliver high quality, integrated design on The King’s Health
Partners Cancer Centre for Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals.” The software’s
interoperability and consequent information mobility across this project enabled
the accurate integration of various models and drawings in different file
formats to facilitate successful collaboration with the Cancer Centre project
stakeholders using third-party software.
Gerard Outram, founding director of Building
Studio Architects, a rising Australia-based, innovative practice focused
on the design and delivery of complex buildings for corporate, institutional,
and government clients, said, “Good
design does not occur by chance, nor is it driven by preconceptions. It arises
from an iterative process of working with clients, asking questions, listening,
targeting research, and applying rigorous problem solving strategies. AECOsim Building Designer is the key
creativity tool in our office. It seamlessly integrates iterative design
thinking to building production.” The firm recently used AECOsim Building Designer, along with ProjectWise, to facilitate collaborative BIM workflows on the AUD
45 million Lantern Building project at the gateway to the Melbourne Docklands
in Victoria, Australia.

About AECOsim
AECOsim products deliver Bentley’s collaborative BIM
advancements for architectural design and multi-discipline engineering of
facilities. The AECOsim brand signifies two important requirements of next-level BIM:
the ability to span Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations in
a unified environment providing information mobility and intra-operability; and
the simulation needed to computationally support better-performing assets
through optioneering.
AECOsim Building Designer, in particular, addresses the different disciplines
typically engaged in facilities projects, including architectural design and
structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering. In addition, it fully
supports the many campus dependencies of today’s built facilities, including
utilities, access, drainage, and more.
