  Architects can shape detailed buildings in minutes with Forma Building Design to easily test how different options work on their site. For many architects, schematic design is defined by a familiar tension. It is the phase of open-ended exploration—where multiple ideas are tested, challenged, and refined for clients to define a project's direction. In essence, it's where the design magic happens. The challenge is rarely a lack of ideas, but the effort required to test and evaluate those id

  12-02-2026 23:36 via indesignlive.com
  When a designer with a background in aeronautical and automotive engineering turns to furniture, the results carry a particular rigour – a precision born from technical foundations and an understanding of how forms move through air and space.

Unlike lateral daylight entering through façades, zenithal light is more evenly distributed, reduces harsh shado
