鈥淲eb Structures are leaders in digital design and the use of parametric tools which will strengthen Ramboll鈥檚 ability to innovate,鈥 said Beard. 鈥淛oining forces with Web Structures fits perfectly with Henning Larsen Architects who recently became part of Ramboll. We want to strengthen our dialogue with clients in the early stages of projects, raising the sustainability agenda to the forefront.鈥

鈥淲e see this as a great platform to drive an integrated design philosophy where architecture and engineering are blended to offer new opportunities for value creation for clients across Ramboll鈥檚 4,500 building designers,鈥 said Dr Hossein Rezai, founding director of Web Structures.

Web Structures, which has main offices in Singapore and Malaysia, has delivered projects in Singapore including the Ardmore Residence and the Mediacorp Campus in Singapore, as well as the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the Four Seasons Resort in the Seychelles.

鈥淩amboll鈥檚 impressive environmental credentials tilted the balance for us,鈥 added Rezai. 鈥淎t these times of climate crisis and serious threat to biodiversity, Ramboll鈥檚 responsible attitude towards the environment is commendable. We are joining forces to work harder together to achieve these goals through design.鈥
