Introduction

First case study of a virtual architecture project.

Process:

  1. Design specifications from the user (Inga)
  2. Document the site, with on-demand, virtual walkthrough from Factor e Farm
  3. Combine user's design specification with available resources and systems requirements of Factor e Farm
  4. Collect a team of architects - Franz Nahrada leads this process
  5. Evaluations of Team Members' contributions with regard to open source process
  • Modular architecture development
    • Modularize components of the house - electric, waste, interior design, structural engineering, HVAC
