The Oppenheim Effect

Susan Szenasy, chief editor for Metropolis, recently shared that the future leaders in our industry start with a different set of assumptions:

• Green
• Team
• Virtual Design

Today we highlight the work of Chad Oppenheim. His Cor project in Miami is reviewed in this month's Metropolis (along with a podcast), Businessweek, Business 2.0, Boom or Bust: Miami and Wired Magazine - not too bad.

Why is this important to mindshift? It is a green multi-used project, using pre-engineered units available in 120 different configurations plus layouts that clients dream up.

It is modular, less expensive to build, faster, mass customized and sustainable.

You will similar ideas in Refabricating Architecture. Chad is bringing this idea of fabricated architecture to life.

Chad represents an elegant mindshift and an example worth exploring.
