Lunchlecture GROOSMAN

Integrated design is often presented as the ideal way of working. But how does this collaboration actually unfold in everyday design practice? What choices are made when architecture, structural design, and engineering intersect, or even clash?

At GROOSMAN, these disciplines work together under one roof. Architect Remko van der Vorm and structural engineer Erik Geldof share their experiences and, through specific projects, demonstrate how integrated design takes shape in practice. They guide you through the different phases of the design process and address questions such as: 

Whenare structural principles defined? Which calculations belong to which design phase? And how do design decisions influence one another, from the sketch to the fully developed plan?

A realistic and substantive insight into design practice, showing how theory, collaboration, and structural logic come together.

 

GROOSMAN
At GROOSMAN, all disciplines come together: urban design, architecture, interior design, construction management, building and structural engineering, and BIM management. Thanks to this broad expertise and experience, we are able to approach projects in an integrated way from the very first phase. Designers actively engage with technical aspects, while engineers safeguard the aesthetic quality in the detailed design. The result is plans that are strong both in quality and process, with careful attention to time, budget, and long-term sustainability.
