JON STRAS, ARCHITECT

In addition to the Digital Design Leadership that I was a part of, this was one of the major research endeavors I was able to pursue with colleagues

​

Simpli-fi - We endeavored to develop a tool that would translate the strategist phase deliverable (an excel of room sizing and adjacencies) into a separate tool that would allow designers to fluidly move them around and evaluate against given criteria. The tool would then be translatable with grasshopper and dynamo into a documentation or design model that could go into construction documentation. While we won the in-house innovation challenge, the coding of such a tool left a very steep hill to climb, that the team was not able to pursue.
