As a design firm, Proces2 understands architecture as a COMPOS I T ION of pragmatic issues and design invention. The source for the design invention lies in the tools of digital technology. As an instrument for design, digital technology allows unique, unconventional ways to shape, view, and develop the architecture as a 3-dimensional solution. Along with a sense of design intuition and skill, the power of digital 3-dimensional modeling, visualization, and fabrication allows limitless avenues to create new realizations of architecture. In mixing these vast capabilities with the practical needs of program, function, and use, the resulting design presents an inventive architecture that resolves the pragmatic issues with an imaginative, charged spatial experience. With this process of designing architecture, the attempt is to shape an environment that contains a uniqueness of its own, a spatial quality that evokes imagination and interest, and a sensibility and comfort in its basic functionality. |

| Through competitions and various architectural projects, Proces2 uses the digital tools at hand to experiment with these ideas of form, process, use, and experience. Along with the ability to explore design as 3-dimensional space, the use of technology allows us to influence the design result at each stage of development, from conceptual design to construction drawings, and construction itself. The digital information is valuable as a tool for translation to the client as well as to the construction. In some cases, the digital 3d data can be used directly in fabrication of pieces of the architecture. To communicate information between the client, consultants, contractors, and fabricators, a project website is established on the Proces2 internet server. In the progression of design, Proces2 fuses all of this technology and process to provide a more inventive architecture, more informative presentations, and a more enhanced spatial experience in the built product. |

| In visualization, Proces2 uses the latest versions of software, such as 3dStudio VIZ r3, Lightscape, and Rhino Nurbs Modeler, and 3 dual-processor computers to develop renderings for all stages of the design process. Within early stages of design, Proces2 can act as an active design team member to provide conceptual sketch renderings, 3d models, lighting studies, and animations. For later development stages of design, Proces2 may also serve as an independent contractor to develop presentation quality images and animations for interior or exterior projects. For ease of communication, a website is setup for each project to post images and updates. Some of the services available for visualization are: |
