Bob Berkebile + Designing the Community of the Future
In this video, Bob Berkebile discusses the enormous strides that have been made toward addressing the environmental crisis that is upon us and, more importantly, the great vision and action that is needed to avert the Perfect Storm we still face.
Through several examples, he discusses projects that look at not only environmental and economic success, but also at the success of the human dynamic, where community is celebrated as a Living System. He highlights the tools and partnerships that his firm has undertaken to ensure that the future of design embraces a common vision for the future and empowers holistic, informed design.
Autodesk Green Research
This video features BNIM’s Lewis and Clark State Office Building and is indicative of the firm’s dedication to technology that holistically integrates sustainable solutions.
From the Autodesk website:
“Autodesk and the USGBC are committed to a future where design process and technology are integrated in support of our common goal - a sustainable tomorrow. Over the past year, the “Project Chicago:Green Research” team investigated how modeling, analysis, and sustainable validation could converge into an improved design process. Using scenarios from BNIM Architects’ Lewis and Clark State Office Building in Missouri, a research team of experts developed alternative concepts for sustainable design environments and studied their impact on the design process. This video showing the results of this research suggests a compelling future.”
