Case Study: Serpentine Gallery Pavilion achieves precise pavilion engineering with Oasys Software

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion - Customer Case Study

The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, a temporary annual architectural installation in London, faced the challenge of engineering a complex, temporary structure with multiple hanging glass canopies without compromising the architect's vision. To achieve this, the project team utilized Oasys Software's GSA and PDisp applications for advanced structural and geotechnical analysis.

Oasys provided the critical engineering solution, using GSA to perform linear, buckling, and dynamic analysis on a single integrated model of the entire structure. This allowed the team to ensure stability and predict the behavior of the unique design. The use of Oasys software contributed to the project's success; the pavilion was completed on time and performed structurally as intended, all while facilitating a drawing-free, entirely 3D-based design process between international teams.
