OVERVIEW

CORE studio is Thornton Tomasetti’s virtual incubator of ideas. Its name derives
from the union of computational modeling and research and development, which are
at the core of our firm’s mission. Our team is a diverse assortment of
specialists, with each member bringing expert knowledge and an inquisitive mind
to projects of every size and scope. Our experience working across all Thornton
Tomasetti practices affords us unique insight into the needs of – and solutions
for – our clients and our firm.

CORE studio provides a valuable interface among design and construction teams,
developing new workflows and processes that promote collaboration and enhance
building design. Our analyses of today’s practices allow us to envision the
optimized workflows of tomorrow.



CORE studio’s Application Development team builds custom software for Thornton
Tomasetti and select corporate clients. We work at the intersection of design,
computation, and research, and apply feedback from project teams working on
world-class engineering and design problems to continuously improve our tools.


APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Automation
Efficiency for our engineers is the primary goal of CORE studio’s developments
in Automation. Our custom tools and applications augment or replace the
functionality of commercially available software. Our toolkits for BIM,
parametric design, and analysis software enable faster more efficient modeling
and reduce the time spent performing mundane and repetitive tasks while
decreasing the likelihood of errors. These tools range from add-ins that carry
out basic geometric transformations and project data manipulation to propriety
modeling automation and repair. Our virtual design assistant apps are built on
Thornton Tomasetti’s years of engineering expertise and provide best practice
solutions for early concept designs.

Interoperability
In today’s diverse software landscape, projects are developed in multiple
platforms simultaneously. CORE studio has spent over 10 years developing
solutions for cross platform interoperability and continues to provide industry
leading solutions that reduce time, minimize error, and maintain model fidelity.
Our applications specialize in managing BIM, analysis, and user data from
concept through documentation. And our web applications allowing collaborative,
data rich, model sharing between all parts of the project team.

Our web-based 3D interoperability platform, Konstru, translates data between
building design and analysis software, allowing models to be synchronized
without needing to be reworked. Project teams don’t have to waste valuable hours
rebuilding models into their preferred software silos, but instead can focus on
the value each application brings to the project.

Tools: Konstru 

Visualization
Contemporary projects create a wealth of valuable data that build over their
life span from concept to post occupancy. CORE studio’s lightweight
visualization platforms help teams intuitively interact with project models and
data discovering value previously hidden in the complexity of project
information. Our platforms provide insight by offering different modes of
spatial data representation, mapping techniques, flexible data visualization
dashboards and interactive 3D BIM viewers. Each platform encourages project
teams to securely share with clients and collaborators by creating curated
interactive reports and model viewers from architects, engineers, contractors,
and facility managers to developers and owners.

MODELING

Our CORE Modeling service assists projects across all of Thornton Tomasetti’s
practices and at every stage of design and construction administration. Our
world-class digital modeling team has four main sub-services: Computational
Modeling, Geometric Rationalization, Integrated Building Analysis, Fabrication
modeling and Physical Prototyping

Computational Modeling
We apply parametric modeling tools to realize design, manage drawing production
and facilitate fabrication. Both complex and simple projects can benefit from
the application of computational modeling approaches, workflows, and CORE studio
tools. These efforts can involve building custom structural elements for Revit,
clash detection and modeling, cleaning up model geometry, or simply organizing
tags. We have developed tools to make workflows more efficient resulting in
quicker deliverables and money saved.

Geometric Rationalization
We use 3D modeling and advanced form-finding techniques to optimize complex
geometries for design intent, constructability and project-specific needs. We
apply rationalization techniques to complex projects when repetition and
reduction of curvature can create big savings on steel.

Integrated Building Analysis
We work with our sustainability and structural engineering staff and software
developers to find better ways to analyze designs and prioritize solutions. We
have proven in practice, on many varying project types, that most analysis
models can be built more efficiently in a parametric platform like Grasshopper
3D, Rhino, or Revit. Projects we have delivered using this workflow provide
faster responses, more rationalized solutions, and cost less to deliver to
clients which is what makes it a huge benefit to our firm.

Fabrication Modeling and Physical Prototyping
We help transform digital models into reality, convey design intent and
facilitate the production of deliverables to fabricate and assemble systems. We
build fabrication-based restraints directly into our parametric models, making
them smart enough to understand real-world constraints whilst still giving the
flexibility of digital processes.


ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

For years, CORE studio has been developing artificial intelligence and machine
learning technologies with a focus on AEC applications. Beginning with our early
work in machine learning, CORE applied Thornton Tomasetti’s 70 years of
structural engineering expertise to a predictive modeling service utilized by a
variety of applications from basic bay design in Skipper to full building
structural optioneering in Asterisk. Our work in computer vision takes images
and video feed from structural inspections to automatically detect visible
damage and defects. Now, with a new CORE lab R&D project and freshly allocated
resources, we’ve consolidated our efforts into a new initiative: CORE.AI.

T2D2
How do you simplify the detection of material damage? You teach a computer to do
it. T2D2 automatically detects visible damage – such as cracks, spalls,
corrosion and more – in concrete, steel, masonry and timber structures. It uses
recent advances in artificial intelligence to detect damage and defects by
analyzing inspection images and video.

T2D2 was trained on annotated data sets consisting of thousands of images taken
during manual structural and façade inspections. Its geolocalization module maps
detected damage to corresponding locations on the structure.

T2D2 Mobile runs on smartphones and tablets and can capture images and detect
damage – along with detailed GPS locations – as the inspector moves around a
site.

T2D2 Web provides an online inference service that processes camera images and
returns metadata describing the detected damage. It can also be used with drones
for large-scale image capture or for reaching previously inaccessible spaces
without scaffolding or other special equipment.

T2D2 expedites condition assessments for a variety of structures, including
buildings, bridges, tunnels, nuclear reactors and petrochemical facilities. It
saves time and money, which enables more frequent and thorough inspections.


AEC TECH

Every year, CORE studio produces and hosts a calendar of events and outreach
activities for the AEC community.

Each year, Thornton Tomasetti hosts New York City’s AEC Tech, welcoming
technology professionals from the architecture, engineering and construction
industry and beyond. Since its creation in 2013, it has evolved from a two-day
conference into a four-day experience featuring professional development
workshops, speakers, presentations and a 24-to-30-hour hackathon. We strive to
offer the most enriching workshops in the latest technologies, engage industry
leaders and provide a forum for project growth, development, and networking. By
serving as a space where creative minds can devise new technologies, acquire
skills and make new connections, AEC Tech is helping build an open community of
knowledge sharing to promote industry progression and enhance collaboration and
communication.
