Our approach combines architecture, material science, evolutionary biology, and engineering.
At ODE, we believe that great architecture stems from a Creative Engineering© design approach. Our approach combines architecture, material science, evolutionary biology, and engineering simultaneously from the beginning of the concept design phase. It has been tested and proven over the last 15 years while ODE’s founder, Dr. Kody Kato, worked under the direction of Dr. Ken Yeang in Malaysia and Byoungsoo Cho in South Korea.
Since then, we have used this multi-disciplinary approach on international projects, such as residences, offices, museums, bridges, symphony halls, factories and exhibition spaces.
Creative Engineering© centers around the entire user experience. This requires close attention to details and materials, daylight and natural ventilation, while taking the users senses, such as touch, sight, smell and hearing into consideration.
ODE’s design approach, termed Creative Engineering©, seamlessly integrates material science, architecture, engineering, evolutionary biology and the environment. This involves creatively exploring principles from engineering, nature, and utilizing a variety of computational studies to design zero energy buildings with low-carbon materials.
