Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center

Studies for the Build-Up Roof Substructure

The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center by Zaha Hadid Architects features a geometrical complex roof design with more than 2000 unique substructure panels. For Werner Sobek Stuttgart, ROK designed a preliminary parametric model for the build-up roof construction. The model incorporates the parametric definition of design-specific construction data and the automated export of individual part geometry which was used for initial feasibility studies.
