The group of architects — known as The Laboratory of Everyday Things — won first place in the Smart City Solutions Competition. Hosted by the University of Miami and the City of Coral Gables, the contest was created to help the city become more efficient and sustainable.
Rogelio Cadena, a project manager at DLGV Architects, is a member of The Laboratory of Everyday Things. He and his colleague Claudia Ansorena were responsible for using Vyond to transform the team’s ideas and storyboards into animation. We caught up with Rogelio to learn a bit more about what the video creation process was like and his advice for fellow video creators.

Luster Magazine | Neushop at LuminaireX Feature
October 12, 2017
La atemporalidad no solo es constante y máxima, sino también el alma de Neushop. Abrazada a este concepto desde sus inicios, la firma –otrora Neutroni– se aleja de los convencionalismos en busca de los códigos estéticos básicos y esenciales que rigen la vestimenta. Su destino siempre ha sido la purificación de las piezas elementales en un afán por convertirlas en productos que son excepcionales por el solo hecho de ser la versión más fundamental de sí mismos; una versión construida con materiales de altísima calidad por los mejores fabricantes del mundo.

University of Miami News | Design/Build Students Create U-SoA’s First Mobile Chicken Coop
February 03, 2017
The Chicken Coop, designed to provide roosting for 100 chickens with 30 boxes for egg-laying, taught students how to think inside and outside the box. Students learned how to design and build a small farm building from client interview and presentation through, working drawings, cost estimating material ordering and construction - all in 16 weeks. Students learned that ideas must be grounded in buildable solutions and that detail and craft are as important as big ideas.
