Designing the Future

Design is the shortest path between an idea and a finished product. All the work in between strives to clear this path of extraneous detail.

Think of buildings as evolving systems that adjust to the passing of time, temperature changes and advancements in technology.

Whether it involves a 1000 sf home or a city of 60,000 people, any project starts with an idea and the confidence to carry it through.

As architects we create a protective shell for life and its activities to unfold in a comfortable and interesting environment.  The goal is to minimize energy consumption, maximize sunlight, improve air quality, offer people control over their surroundings, create visual interest, and adapt quickly to change.

We design for now and the future at the same time.

Living green means a shift from designing and building intricate systems to providing the service and qualities those systems deliver, making small design choices that generate cascade positive effects.

The construction methods of today have a tremendous impact on the energy consumption, waste management, and pollution of the environment of tomorrow. Every design decision needs to pose the question:

Will this be relevant, add value or create a problem five, ten, fifteen years from now?

The focus is on simplicity and seeing buildings as evolving systems to encourage the development of best value/least cost solutions not only for the present, but also for the building’s future use.

Building information modeling offers unprecedented intelligence to design, opening new avenues for the sharing of knowledge between the members of the design team and allowing them to work on solutions simultaneously.

The beauty of using BIM, and Revit in particular, is that it carries the project from conceptual sketches to full blown construction documents, and at each stage in the development offers a fully functional model that can be sliced, rotated, and zoomed-in to study every detail.

  24. Also I believe that mesothelioma cancer is a uncommon form of many forms of cancer that is generally found in people previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous cellular material form from the mesothelium, which is a shielding lining which covers many of the body’s areas. These cells commonly form inside the lining from the lungs, tummy, or the sac that really encircles one’s heart. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

Во-первых, они обеспечивают эффективную защиту зданий, сооружений и продуктов от дератов, предотвращая материальные убытки и возможные угрозы здоровью людей и животных. Во-вторых, они могут быть экологически безопасными и минимально вредными для окружающей среды, особенно при использовании физических и биологических методов.

  65. Одним из ключевых преимуществ Охранно-Защитной Дератизационной Системы является ее предупредительный подход. Система работает на основе автоматического определения наличия грызунов и их действий на объекте. Используя современные сенсоры и интеллектуальные алгоритмы, ОЗДС способна обнаруживать признаки присутствия грызунов, такие как движение, тепловое излучение или звуковые сигналы, и реагировать на них незамедлительно.
