2020 Skyscraper Collaboratory
An interdisciplinary architecture and structural engineering design studio collaboration with industry partners
The 2020 Skyscraper Collaboratory was a partnership between the interdisciplinary design studio at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo and design and structural engineering partners from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, an internationally acclaimed firm that specializes in skyscrapers. The academic design studio set-up mirrored the advanced collaborative practice model of the partner firm by balancing nine teams with architecture and engineering students and co-taught by an architect and structural engineer. Over a twenty-week period, seven courses were synchronized and coordinated with the partner firm’s lectures, reviews, and workshops developed for the high-rise design studio. Topics such as structural prototyping and optimization, building energy modeling, performative envelopes, housing design and vertical communities, plus urban placemaking were addressed to aide in design development. Then, what started as an in-person collaborative design studio was upended by the pandemic. Workflows changed; hand-crafted physical study models were abandoned, and remote collaboration workflow strategies were implemented based on the expertise of the partner firm. Ultimately, the combination of tech savvy students, flexible instruction, and seasoned practitioners were key factors to a successful studio.
