Project Integration

Polshek Partnership Architects hired CASE to support their use of building information modeling for a large master planning effort. Spatial program validation and its accurate graphic representation across a long term master plan is the focus of this project. CASE worked with the team to accurately model use-areas across several buildings in a large campus, while also designed the complex model structure. A comprehensive set of model specifications were also developed.

CASE was hired by CANNON Design’s New York office to support their move toward building information modeling and model-based project delivery. As an architecture and engineering office, CANNON’s in house coordination of trades is a key element of their delivery method. CASE supports their SFMO (single firm, multiple office) approach, through direct project support on several projects, including two large hospitals, coordinating across a bi-coastal (multiple office) model management effort.

CASE provided technology consulting and geometric rationalization to PARA on their finalist entry for this renowned competition to construct a temporary installation in the courtyard of P.S. 1 during their annual summer program, Warm Up. PARA's proposal, entitled Stimulator, aimed to turn excess into resource by proposing an installation of mass, rather than of surface.

CASE was hired by Grimshaw Architects as part of a US Department of Energy Renewable Energy Project Grant to assist in the research, design and planning necessary for a full integration of the renewable energy resources and optimal energy efficiency in the new Miami Museum of Science.

This project was completed by Dave in early 2005, prior to the formation of CASE, but it represents one of the services that CASE will offer firms that are dealing with complex geometric rationalization for design and fabrication.
