"We have been using form•Z in the Cleveland office for the past two years now and are very pleased with the product. We are also appreciative of AutoDesSys's excellent technical support. form•Z has become an integral tool for design with all of our projects. In concert with physical modeling, and a prodigious amount of hand sketching, our form•Z savvy design team works together to quickly build base models and develop design options. Over time, we have begun to consolidate many of our models to create extremely large models of urban centers, such as one we have developed of the city of Akron. These, in turn, allow us to respond to potential work with an incredible resource at our disposal. All of our images, generated in form•Z, are further developed with Photoshop."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GSA Daycare
Christopher Diehl, Director of Design; John Selby, Project Manager; Doug Myers, Project Architect; Bradford Watson and Richard Danicic, Design, form•Z; Kristine Carvaines, Design Team

Upon approaching the Celebrezze federal office tower, a starkly modern and stainless steel clad skyscraper built in 1963, your eyes go to the top of its 30 stories. As they sweep down the sheer facades, one spies a gently curving and softly landscaped plane hovering above a plaza which is defined by manicured fields of green grass. Beneath this garden roof, which seems to have been lifted above its cousins, children play, sleep, and create. This intensely urban site has been modified to create a quiet space for the care of children whose parents work in the tower above. Docked to the towerÕs south side, it occupies the plaza above the parking deck. The garden roof, landscaped as a butterfly garden, defines the area for the daycare below, which is arranged in a free plan spirit. The classrooms are connected to the Lake Erie sky through various large cylindrical skylights that puncture the roof.

Kent State University Dormitory Renovations
Christopher Diehl - Director of Design; Robin Holmes - Project Manager; Dan Clements - Project Architect; Bradford Watson - Design, form•Z; Mike Thomas - Design Team; Vito Miling - Lighting design; Jerry Piasecki - Fire Protection

The Korb hall renovation was part of a much larger "critical measures" renovation package for 16 residence halls on the Kent State campus. A concept for a new entry canopy was developed to create a sense of entry to an otherwise undistinguished building.
