Global Presence
Our firm utilizes a design approach that relies on Principal involvement and a philosophy that stresses “doing more sooner.” Principal involvement in the concept and schematic phases is extremely important in that various concepts can be developed and quickly tested. DeSimone works very closely with the project’s architectural team and more importantly ownership to fully understand the issues driving a project. Our work cannot be performed in a vacuum. Market conditions and material availability are significant factors driving project decisions. It is important for these issues to be addressed within the preliminary design phases.
DeSimone is also committed to “Start to Finish Project Staffing.” Therefore the dedicated design production team for your project will continue on throughout the construction phase. Our philosophy is that the team members who developed the schematic design plans and working drawings are best suited to resolve any issues that arise in the field during the construction process.
Project Approach
With the ongoing industry focus on sustainability,
DeSimone has devoted significant resources
towards understanding green issues as they apply to structures. DeSimone
continuously stresses structural optimization as a
means to reduce material use, thus minimizing a
project’s environmental impact. Our efforts in combination with our extensive sustainable
experience allow us to fully support and advance our clients’ green agendas in
our practice and within our work.
DeSimone also fully promotes sustainability
within our built environment. We strive to minimize our impact on the environment by endorsing sustainable
and conservation ideals throughout all of our
operations.
Sustainability
DeSimone has designed numerous challenging projects in some of the most seismically active regions of the world. We routinely utilize site-specific ground hazard information to ensure that our projects are designed for accurate local hazards. We are an industry leader in the utilization of next generation performance-based design techniques for high rise buildings. This allows us to utilize non-linear time history analyses to justify the reduction of reinforcing in areas of buildings that actually need less than otherwise required by code, while simultaneously allowing us to more accurately predict the response of a building to real earthquakes.
Seismic Experience
Building Information Models (BIM) are emerging
as the new standard with respect to project
documentation and design deliverables. The living three-dimensional models that are created serve as the dialogue by which design teams can
coordinate the systems of a building. These models
also serve as an aid to contractors by providing
real-time visual references and continue to evolve during the life span of
the building as a tool for data and systems or even personnel management. DeSimone actively works
in the following BIM platforms: CATIA, Digital Project, Rhinoceros, Revit
and 3D AutoCAD.
