Case Study: COX Architecture reduces steel use and improves stadium collaboration with Autodesk

COX Architecture’s delivery of the new world-class Allianz Stadium highlights the latest in innovation

COX Architecture, a global design-led architecture firm, faced the complex challenge of redeveloping the Sydney Football Stadium into the new Allianz Stadium. Their goals were to enable greater accessibility, minimize environmental impact, and reduce risk for the large-scale venue, all while fostering seamless collaboration across their interdisciplinary teams. To overcome these challenges, they turned to technology from Autodesk, including the Autodesk Construction Cloud and the AEC Collection of software.

By implementing Autodesk's solutions, COX achieved a highly collaborative, data-driven workflow. The use of tools like Revit, Dynamo, and BIM Collaborate Pro enabled the team to optimize designs, resulting in the stadium's roof being built with 40% less steel, a significant reduction in material and environmental impact. The technology also allowed for advanced safety simulations to be woven into the design process, mitigating risk before construction was complete. Autodesk's platforms provided the common data environment necessary for the large, distributed team to work together effectively from a single source of truth.
