Abstract
The Danish Cancer Centre by architects Gehry Partners has presented the engineering team with a number of challenges. This paper describes primarily the challenges posed by the use of 450 × 450 mm solid Douglas Fyr members for a Mikado-like beam and column system, and the preservation of the existing historic building from 1908. These included developing a robust structural concept that allows the wooden members freedom to twist and crack over time. The paper also provides insight into the extensive fire and building services engineering carried out. The use of BIM, in particular Revit Structure, for the fabrication drawings of more than 500 steel/wood connections, is also described.
