The Grand Theatre in Rabat is one of the most iconic projects of the famous Zaha Hadid<\/a><\/span> studio, built in the capital of Morocco and completed in 2022.<\/p>\n

After discovering the history of the Rabat theatre<\/a> and the details of the work, this article will look at the methods used to implement a particularly complex and demanding project.<\/p>\n

Parametric design in the Rabat Theatre project<\/h2>\n

The building, constructed predominantly of concrete, has a shell of GRC panels<\/strong> (fibre cement) covering the entire amorphous surface with a total of 5400 panels, each one different from the other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

INCIDE Engineering<\/strong> was commissioned by the fa\u00e7ade builder to develop the construction design of the envelope and supporting substructures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The complex geometry required an innovative approach, generated through the creation of a design flow that utilised parameterisation<\/strong> and interoperability<\/strong> of the systems used.<\/p>\n

The starting point was the 3D geometric model<\/strong> received from the Zaha Hadid studio and the design constraints.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The reconstruction of the geometry of the panels<\/strong> and their adaptation with the construction solutions<\/strong> developed between INCIDE and the customer was possible thanks to the use of a parametric approach<\/strong> developed through the design software Rhino<\/strong> and Grasshopper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This synergetic methodology allowed the reconstruction<\/strong> of theoretical geometries and the implementation of reinforcement<\/strong> and fastening details in a fully automatic<\/strong> manner.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the realisation of the steel substructure was modelled from self-generative criteria<\/strong> derived from mathematical functions and the direct connection between the geometric model and the construction model realised with the Tekla<\/strong> software.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here too, the advanced functions<\/strong> of interoperability<\/strong> were exploited for the automatic generation of panel support details.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the construction geometries of the panels were transported into another software, Inventor<\/strong>, used for the production of the drawings and cam files necessary for the construction of the formwork for the GRC panels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every day, INCIDE is committed to developing innovative systems<\/strong> for solving projects and solutions alongside architects, companies and end customers.<\/p>\n

The integration of customised solutions takes place not only across vertical disciplines, but also within the multidisciplinary range of services that INCIDE possesses and develops.<\/p>\n
