Cast Design Studio utilizes the latest digital tools to focus architectural projects toward their most beautiful and efficient resolution. As a leader in sustainable design, the primary focus of the studio is the integration of natural and constructed environments.
As design processes become evermore data-driven, collaborative and networked, Cast Design sees a direct correlation between the way in which we visualize environments via software and the way in which we interact with and create the global environment at large. Increasingly, Cast Design Studio is developing its work via Virtual Reality (VR) interfaces which allow for greater realism but also require greater accuracy (honesty) in the way spaces are created.
At its best, VR offers multiple efficiency gains in the design process as projects can be cycled through multiple iterations to optimize environmental inputs (solar access in passive design, vegetation growth and impact) as well as offering a networked platform for review and comment that is more open and collaborative.
Synthesizing the natural and constructed environment in this way respects the efforts of all the stakeholders involved and promises the longest possible life-cycle of the projects which is at the very heart of sustainable thinking - maximizing the quality of life today while preserving the opportunities of future generations.
