Gehry Technologies Digital Project
Software in UK
Desktop Engineering launches Gehry Technologies Digital Project Software, DP R3, in the UK.
Digital Project DP 3 offers the benefits that derive from combining the power of large-scale 3D parametric CAD with Building Information Modeling (BIM) The new BIM modeller is based on the functional modelling paradigm and is compliant with Industry Foundation Class (IFC) specifications, enabling compatibility across diverse systems

Case study: The New Rules of Building
Recording and retaining creative integrity through to build, while optimising design around multiple analysis criteria, since introduction of Gehry Technologies' Digital Project software.
A revised workbench within R3 allows users to add BIM intelligence to conceptual architectural designs; define and use architectural grids; model concrete and steel systems; model and place building elements in 3D; manage multiple architectural, structural and analytical views; parametrically define spaces and objects, and interact with analysis solutions - in real time.
R3 DP users can now take advantage of 64-bit processor platforms running under Windows XP with significantly increased performance results.
Also new in R3 is the Imagine and Shape module that allows even novice users to form-find directly in 3D using intuitive game based technologies.
Knowledge Expert, another new feature, is an infrastructure application based on Artificial Intelligence that enables automatic verification of building codes and project rule invocation.
Another new module, Photo Studio, generates photorealistic images while an Optimiser extends this capability to create highly rendered movies.
R3 also includes a Project Engineering module that helps to optimise and explore multiple design options.
Desktop Engineering MD, Geoff Haines, said of the R3 release of Gehry Technologies Digital Project, "DP is gaining users among forward thinking AEC businesses because it enhances both creativity and productivity while offering full integration with other industry standard software." Current UK users include architectural practices SOM and Zahra Hadid as well as Arup and Buro Happold.
Patrik Schumacher, Zaha Hadid Partner said.
" DP ensures that however much a design evolves we never lose sight of our original ideas, and that however extraordinary the result we know it can be seen through to construction.".
