Computational design solutions

Human intuition supported by powerful, digital data analytics. Structured learning from the past through development based on real results; ABT combines deep technological expertise with digital tools and methods. This combination allows us to connect buildings and their data with digital models that produce reliable results and relevant insights. Our Computational Solutions team provides integrated solutions for consulting, design and system integration for a sustainable built environment.

Digital environments in which designers, users, developers, owners and service providers can manage and control physical assets are a reality. Stakeholders are given increasing opportunities to improve both design and control and the operational processes around them. Today, assets and processes in the built environment are becoming more intelligent and will be better perceived and understood by stakeholders. Physical assets (or buildings) produce data that can be presented in a user-friendly way and are crucial for effective decision-making.

Digital support and digital solutions in design, construction, renovation or operational processes are essential to achieving your goals. Fully carbon-neutral operation and reporting is only possible if you have all relevant data of the processes and performance of your physical assets. Integrating all this data into our digital models provides valuable insights that might otherwise have been lost in stand-alone systems.

Naturalis Biodiversity Center

Naturalis Biodiversity Center

An iconic museum building, its façade designed and modelled so that concrete appears silky smooth. Commissioned by Neutelings Riedijk Architects, ABT provided the architectural design, construction management, 3D digitization and technical design of Naturalis' unique façade. The concrete relief sculptures were designed by Iris van Herpen.

Nationaal Militair Museum

Nationaal Militair Museum

On the site of the former Soesterberg Air Base, the National Military Museum opened in 2014. The museum houses collections from the Army Museum in Delft and the Military Aviation Museum in Soesterberg.
