Manifesto

We measure buildings the way surgeons measure bodies: completely, repeatedly, and before we cut. Then we stay. Every wall we raise keeps reporting back, so the next building is wiser than the last one.

Fig. 07 / Platform / Survey to archive

Four instruments / one live model

From the first scanto the final decade.

  1. 01Capture

    Measured,not assumed.

    Every site is scanned before we draw,so the first line sits on real ground.

    • Scan density · 2 mm
    • Robotic total station + drone lidar
    • Turnaround · 48 h
  2. 02Model

    One model,every discipline.

    Architecture, structure and energy shareone model, rebuilt against every survey.

    • Federated disciplines · 11
    • Nightly rebuild · 02:00 CET
    • Clash tolerance · 5 mm
  3. 03Monitor

    Buildings thatreport back.

    Heat, air, light and movement stream in,checked against the design every hour.

    • Sensors per 1 000 m² · 38
    • Sample interval · 60 s
    • Alert latency · under 90 s

Fig. 11 / Field reports / Notes from site

Written by the partners who took the readings

Notes fromthe field.

  1. FR-014Moisture in timber facades after three wintersSixty-four probes in the larch facade of Hallmark Library show where three subarctic winters actually left their moisture.
  2. FR-013What 400 million points cannot tell youA dense scan records geometry with great precision and says almost nothing about material, cause or change. This is how we fill the gaps.
  3. FR-012Daylight autonomy versus occupant comfortThe west-facing homes at Casa Mares scored best for daylight and worst for comfort. Sensors on the blinds showed us why.
