process and values:
FLOW OF FORCES Environmental, seemingly constant, factors from sun to gravity gain a response from the flows of structural forces. These flows are designed to meet the altering demands of functions but to remain visible and understanable in the entity. The aim is to create structurally defined and clear design.
FUNCTIONAL VARIANT Functions evolve in time, a building will evolve accordingly. Functional variants are the changing requirements that a design will fulfill in its lifetime. Variants operate in the building both during and after the design process. Success is evaluated over time.
MATERIAL SIGNALS Materials are close to our senses, giving us perpetual impulses. A material should respect its properties, possibly contrast its surroundings, but remain in elaborate equilibrium to the whole. For us wood represents a material with more properties and potential than is commonly used in buildings.
CUSTOMER INTERACTION We use a combination of drafting, scale models and 3D-Cad to shape the design, each part giving complementing values. Computing is used as a tool for real-time customer interaction. Perspicuous images of the design can be seen and evaluated at any stage.
