“A textbook example of how computational design can push the boundaries of architecture, the jury was particularly impressed with the exceptional innovation, creativity, and technical complexity showcased in the work. The seamless integration of generative design and environmental simulations demonstrated a clear and sophisticated approach to form-finding solutions. The project proved that this approach to problem-solving can have measurable impacts on both the environment and functionality. By leveraging advanced techniques, it shows how computational design can address environmental concerns and enhance the usability of architectural spaces.”

PROJECT STORY
The groundbreaking INTUIT Dome arena is inspired by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer’s vision to create an exceptional fan experience focused on user comfort. The 18,000-seat sports and entertainment campus includes an 85,000-sf practice facility, 71,000-sf office space and 25,000-sf for sports medicine, retail, and concert stage. The $2 Billion development located in Inglewood California features a translucent oval -shaped dome, the world’s largest video board, wired power for every seat, frictionless concessions, and quick restroom access. Sustainability is prioritized with carbon-free operation, natural ventilation, and solar power. The Intuit Dome redefines sports venues by emphasizing simplicity, convenience, and fan-centric design through computational design innovation. (more…)

Last Tuesday, AIA Detroit’s Committee Environment (COTE), Detroit 2030 District, and the USGBC Detroit Region met for the first-ever Detroit Green Circle Meetup at Lord Aeck Sargent‘s beautiful downtown office. It was a packed house, with folks from several industries coming together with a mission to integrate and bring together Detroit organizations to create one strategic vision. The organizations are teaming up to create a collaborative platform to advocate for the architectural profession, building industry, academic institutions, the public, and design and construction industries, fostering holistic and sustainable design practices within the built environment.

In partnership with AIA Detroit, Green Living Sciences announced the winners of the Zero-Waste Education Center Design Competition, giving out cash prizes for the designs. The winners were as follows:

First Place: Progressive AE

(Represented by Rand Harder and Matthew Van Sweden)

First Runner-Up: Bryan Seef

Honorable Mention: Jessica Hartwig

Congratulations to the winners! A special “Thank You, ” to Lord Aeck Sargent for hosting, and our supporting organizations for putting together a wonderful event.
