The Year in Infrastructure 2008 - (Page 47) InnovatIon In CommerCIal or resIdentIal BuIldIng PLH arkitekter as City 2 – Extreme Makeover Copenhagen, Denmark the city 2 shopping center is located in the western outskirts of copenhagen and includes four levels of retail space surrounding a large, covered central plaza with cinemas, restaurants, and event areas. The center was built in the 1970s and reflects the robust and straightforward architecture of the time. To accommodate a large supermarket chain, the entire interior – including all surfaces, floors, ceilings, lighting, and interior fixtures – of one area is being upgraded. Using Bentley Architecture, the firm has produced accurate and coordinated project material conducive to easy modifications. The option to use the updated project material to communicate with clients and partners with 3D viewers and images has proved to be valuable.

The main volume of the gallery will change through an emergent system of display componentry that deploys over the lifespan of the building. To generate a maximal set of design iterations exploring legitimate constellations of building solutions – while maintaining highly integrated details – the firm used GenerativeComponents. Adjustments to the design continued all the way through the construction documents phase and the GenerativeComponents model was used as the control for geometry output and feedback to structural consultants and fabricators through fabrication.
