"A project like this does not always follow a linear process. There’s a lot of back and forth involved in bringing ideas forward and in how the design ultimately gets developed. AutoCAD provides a common ground to help everyone stay coordinated and automates things. It brings all the technical layers together and ensures accuracy when multiple groups are working together on a project."

“We asked questions at different scales and together arrived at an answer that involved a respect for context, tradition, materiality and new technologies."

“The software allows us to get our designs out quickly. We’ve been doing this for years, and we succeed because we have an aluminium-engineered membrane structure that is ideal not only for emergency response but for other applications later.”

"The Autodesk tech stack has enabled us to design with a high level of precision, and that has been very crucial to this project."

“Now we want to take that next step to ensure its longevity. The Black community in this area has been under-resourced. This is an opportunity to correct some of the wrongs.”

“When we work on affordable housing, we can still work to apply a lot of these design concepts even with a more limited budget and get to a great design."

“The project really tries to use art as its gravitational pull, as this incredible canvas and foundation for Black art.”

“I think for the residents, it'll feel like they have quite a bit of access to their own public open area."

“Even now, we are doing clash detection during construction, but even during the design phase we were able to better understand the spatial requirements of each discipline.”

“It is often difficult to position fastening technology as its own specific trade at an early stage of project planning.”

“In BIM projects, it is becoming more and more common practice to think about a fastening concept at an early stage.”

“We use the offset tool in AutoCAD to draw the boundaries and identify tree protection zones. We also relied on AutoCAD to trace different alignments for the road and zoning for the driveway to make sure a fire truck can move through it.”

“A lot of folks want a brand-new building, and we definitely could have had that. But you can also find ways to celebrate historic buildings and make them into something really beautiful and unique. It felt really important for us to be able to demonstrate that to our clients.”

“So on day one when the office opened, we had fewer desks than people. At our current utilization rate, we could grow another 30% and not have to change anything, which is pretty cool.”

“We built a model from that point cloud, and we used that throughout the entire design and build process. With that model, I was able to get linear footage to figure out how much wood we would be able to salvage.”
