THE COLLECTUS PROSPECTUS:

As designers deeply rooted in local inspiration and integratable traditions, our designs should be as concious of tomarrow as of today. Our creations not only stand as testaments to our craft, but also contribute to the evolving tapestry of architectural excellence

As such, below is a list of past endeavors attempted (and sometimes applied) to this overall list of portfolio projects.

Plus Energy Skyscraper/Building Calculator Publication (CTBUH)

In recognition for advanced sustainability work, the below was the first publication. All buildings these days can be designed to be off the grid: the Living Building Challange, Passivehaus and DfD systems, and have shown us the way.

Yet can we do better? What then are the limits of our current technology? (Below remains a published research example, through a prestigious international journal):

Design for Disassembly

We have the ability to design every structure we use to have no waste: one buildings ‘byproducts’ are,

Cars, lawn mowers, factories, hospitals, and even skyscrapers can now be designed to ‘use every part of the buffalo’.

This is the next evolution of D-sign.

Deconstruction Documentation Center/Storage

Like a Fire Command Center, EVERY sustainable building/structure should have a Deconstruction Document Center/Central storage so that much like a time capsule, future practitioners have a controlled, repeatedly identifiable space to

We have the ability to design every structure we use to have no waste: one buildings ‘byproducts’ are a future structures nutrients,
