the Vision of BispeBjerg Bakke - Realdania Byg

They are not many straight lines in the
building and as it was difficult – in some
cases impossible – to note measurements
on the drawings, we decided to leave
them out. Instead we got together with
the architects to make a digital model,
which everyone could contribute to and
which was used as a common frame of
reference”. The digital model was created
by a process in which every single specialist
engineer contributed information and
requirements. For example, the plumbing
engineer told us where to leave space for
ventilation channels, the electrical engineer
identified the placing of plugs and
switches, and so on. The end result was
a common 3D model, which all those involved
in the project used as their point
of departure. Thus, before Bispebjerg
Bakke begin to rise as a building in the
Northwest, it already existed in a digital
version which everyone could relate and
respond to.
Working digitally with the project has
made the whole building process a lot easier.
Digital drawings are extremely precise
and by using Computer Aided Design
(CAD), information about the sections to
be produced can be communicated di-
