Our practice as designers is changing due to technological developments. We take advantage of the opportunities offered by new working methods and forms of collaboration. This is how we continue to develop and improve the quality of our work in terms of both process and content, while also increasing transparency. In this transformation, we see people as drivers and the key to success.
At OOS, we use Building Information Modelling (BIM) to ensure a fully digital workflow, guided by Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) principles. Together, these form the basis of our project work. Based on the objectives of the client and the project, we define the collaboration with all project participants and the associated processes. We work with a 3D model that not only depicts the design, but also contains all project-relevant information. This creates a common, reliable database for all project participants and increases our efficiency and transparency.
Virtual Reality (VR) is part of our workflow. 3D modelling allows the design team and the client to experience a project immersively in a digital space, which provides important insights into the development and decision-making process.
Parametric design supports our studies and analyses in terms of form, building performance and life cycle. Such tools generate multiple design solutions through an algorithmic process based on parameters and rules. At the same time, we are researching in the field of data-driven design.
