Services
To assist architects in the design of site-responsive buildings, SYMPHYSIS draws from the use of various tools, such as Geographic Information System (GIS), climate data, and Building Performance Analysis software, to inform the design at its earliest phase, when decisions have the most impact on a project's performance and life-cycle costs.
As founder of SYMPHYSIS, Olivier has been consulting for architects since 2003, providing bioclimatic design solutions, site and climate analyses, shading impact reports such as san francisco's section 295, as well as recommendations on daylighting, solar stress mitigation, and passive design strategies.
