Dynamic Architectural Modeling

This project developed dynamic modeling practices for architectural design. In other words, a set of digital blueprints that can instantly morph to show the design team and the clients changes in design in a 3D, explorative model more akin to World of Warcraft or Quake III than blue ink on paper. Using bleeding edge features of Digital Project and Maya, they can show changes in materials (brass instead of copper fittings), envelope (10 more feet of sidewalk), atmosphere (a 'green wall' of honeysuckle instead of glass windows) and more. Eventually, these models will be accessible through map technologies like Google Earth and A9 street-level maps.
