The idea is to explore as many options as possible without having to manually model each one.” Jesper Wallaert, VDC specialist at MT Højgaard, explains: “Dynamo let us use computational design and a data-driven process to generate thousands of potential geometries for the garage. With an already efficient design as a starting point, the VDC team realized that removing costs might prove difficult, so it turned to Autodesk® Dynamo software to explore more options quickly.

A longtime user of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process, the firm asked its virtual design and construction (VDC) department to explore and model potentially cost-saving alternatives. But the initial design costs for the structure proved to surpass the desired budget. The firm realized that it needed a new, 300-space parking garage. Constructed on the former parking lot of its prior building, the new building had one drawback-not enough parking and limited space for a new parking lot. MT Højgaard, a construction leader in the Nordic region, recently expanded into new headquarters.
