  2. Point b's d.Gallery a BE Award Finalist

    posted May '08

    Point b's d.Gallery was nominated by Bentley Systems as a BE Award Finalist in two categories: "Innovation in Commercial or Residential Building" and "Attaining Return on Innovention," for its innovative use of GenerativeComponents throughout the design and construction process.

 Point B Design

Point B Design is a multi-discipline design studio. Our expertise is in designing and making objects, spaces, and buildings that are meaningful, beautiful, and have a positive impact on our world. The various disciplines of digital technology, design, and fabrication all inform our design process. We have the combination of an advanced digital design studio to study and evolve your projects in 4d, combined with a full wood and metal shop that expresses our understanding and passion for materials and the way they come together. We employ all our capabilities and insight to create your vision. Check out the b.diagram for a sense of how our studio integrates our design process.

 b.Design

Our design team is an insanely creative group of individuals that see the world differently. Our design philosophy is that the material composition and construction of your environment impacts you emotionally and psychologically. We look to make meaningful projects for propel that care. We have developed a set of tools and a design process that allows us to create objects, spaces, and buildings that can change the way you perceive the built environment and the world.

 b.Digi

As our digital side of the studio, b.Digi is comprised of some of the most advanced design software in the world: representational, analytical, and parametric modeling tools, offering a method of intelligent modeling and efficient information management. It is our understanding of the tools and the proper application that is our strength. b.Digi acts as a mediator between the virtual space of computing and the real constraints of the built world. We access and exploit the potentials of technology in order to understand and evolve our designs for you.

 b.Fab

b.Fab is the materials research and construction execution branch of the point b group, along with b.Design and b.Digi. b.Fab focuses on integrating new technical building processes with traditional construction logics at all points along the project delivery lifecycle, in order to expedite the delivery process while improving the end product. b.Fab is located in the same physical facility as b.Design and b.Digi in order to offer the benefits of full collaborative integration on architectural- to furniture-scale projects.
