“It’s the same every year. They come, they eat, they leave; that’s our lot in life. It’s not a lot, but it’s our life” – Queen, Pixar’s A Bug’s LifeJust because we’re used to doing things the same way doesn’t make it right. Too often in the architect/engineering world we’re faced with the same old model: an architect designs a “pretty building,” then the engineer is expected to “make it work”. The problem is that any engineer can make something “work,” while only a rare few create spaces that help build the culture and community you deserve and expect. These are the beneficial partnerships that project owners value.Right and left-brain thinking are critical to the new age of design. Imaginative thought combined with practical experience is essential to ensure you receive an energized space that is comfortable for you, your employees and your valued customers.The old way doesn’t work in this age of complex, sustainable design. Do you desire a commoditized engineer, or someone who helps you realize the healthy, vibrant space you envision?Adrian is passionate about engineering design that isn’t only about something functioning properly. Rather, he’s more interested in making spaces that are more than just systems, brick and mortar. Adrian has been part of design teams that have developed over 18 million square feet of sustainable spaces; retrofitted lighting in retail stores that not only made their product look better, but also decreased energy usage by 20-40% on average. His expertise also includes creating productive and healthy learning environments that allow students to thrive and excel.Engineering is much more than calculations and drawings. It’s about helping partners gain their competitive advantage and marketplace distinction.What do you want from your engineer?
