The Office for Design Evolution (ODE)
ArchitectsThe Office for Design Evolution (ODE) was founded by Dr. Kody Kato in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The company name refers to a design approach called Creative Engineering©, which combines architecture, material science, evolutionary biology, engineering, and the environment to enhance the way we live, work and experience space.
ARCHITECTURE
Our approach combines architecture, material science, evolutionary biology, and engineering simultaneously from the beginning of the concept design phase.
CREATIVE ENGINEERING©
Creative Engineering© centers around the entire user experience. This requires close attention to details and materials, daylight and natural ventilation, while taking the users senses, such as touch, sight, smell and hearing into consideration.
Creative Engineering©, seamlessly integrates material science, architecture, engineering, evolutionary biology and the environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
At ODE, the natural environment is integral to every design. We embrace the sun, wind, context, and landscape as components of our creative process.
