" I believe that one of the most significant innovations is the development in computers to assist in the solving of complex mathematical problems in structures and the use of computer-aided design. My first project--St. Mary's Church--could only be solved in 1967 with the computer technology developed at that time. I had always dreamed to have my organic work completely defined by computers so that every part of the building could be automatically dimensioned and full scale; that every part and every system could be sent to the manufacturer, the tradesmen and the contractors for fabrication and construction. This is a dream now fully realized by the latest advancement in computer technology. This allows the architect to take his historical and traditional role as the master builder, where he can control every facet of the building down to its most minute detail. For me it is a marvellous tool without which my architecture would be impossible to construct within our present-day schedules and restricted budgets."
(FROM CANADIAN ARCHITECT, AUGUST 2005)
We have the technology to build the building on the computer in full scale, so that we can define every dimension of the project.
We start with the details so that we can build the building sequentially, trade by trade, so that we can effectively manage the project on the site, so that the general contractor can see that we have clearly defined the scope of work for each trade, and that we have sequenced the construction, trade by trade, for effective, and time-saving as well as cost-saving, construction management.
We build our architectural drawings in 3D so that we can effectively coordinate our work with the other disciplines.
We require Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical, and other Consultants to provide us 3D drawings of their work so that we can effectively coordinate all of these disciplines and deal with any interference of their systems. We develop a coordinated, holistic 3D model of all of the systems which are necessary in the construction of the building.
Unlike other architects, we provide all of the dimensions to all of the consultants and trades on the project, so that the building is built from our accurate drawings with co-ordinated dimensions for all of the trades.
