Foster + Partners' design for the National Bank of Kuwait Headquarters is for an environmentally responsive building and a complex geometry. Dusanka Popovska , a design system analyst in the Specialist Modelling Group (SMG) at Fosters, explains how the group was introduced at an early stage in the bank's design process to develop a parametric model that was capable of integrating various performance parameters while continuing to investigate geometrical solutions.
