Overview

How cardboard and pencil meet aerospace-grade software—an iterative process binding craft, computation, and construction.

Iteration Steps

1. Sketch: gesture and intent.
2. Model: test massing and light.
3. Digital: rationalize complex curves.
4. Fabrication: align shop and site.

Craft and code dance together across the timeline.

Tools

• Paper/cardboard for speed.
• CATIA for complex geometry and coordination.
• Shop drawings linking digital and physical.

Team Workflow

• Architects model intent; engineers translate to buildable logic.
• Fabricators close the loop with tolerances and mockups.
