Giant Interactive Group Corporate Headquarters iPad App / 2011
iPad App by Synthesis (Marty Doscher and John Carpenter) / Design, model and text with Thom Mayne and Morphosis Architects

Interactive 3D model of Morphosis Architects' Giant Interactive Group Corporate Headquarters in Shanghai, China. The app allows the user to explore the programmatic elements and systems that drove the final form of the building. Interactions include rotating and zooming in on the model, turning on and off and highlighting program elements, and expanding and collapsing the model (similar to an exploded axonometric diagram).

The above screen captures and the interactivity demo quicktime video are of version 1.1 which will be released in the iTunes App store shortly. Version 1.0 is currently available in the App Store.

Building Energy Consumption Data Visualization Studies / 2011
Marty Doscher and John Carpenter while at Morphosis Architects

In preparation for a new project, 24hr energy consumption data was studied at a design studio's office. The goal of this work was to determine the percentage of energy that could be offset using sustainable energy sources (such as solar panels) in the new studio's design. Building energy data was collected over a several week period and visualized as concentric rings (one loop = 24hrs). The resulting diagrams were used in analysis and discussion with consulting engineers.
