About

The skyline of metropolitan cities is filled up with high-rise office blocks and mixed-use towers which is no longer only a vision from last century films but an on-going urban environment trends for efficient communication between big enterprises and better collaboration between different disciplines. Our practice stands individually as a research group of environmental data analysis at the same time share free data resources for subscriber architecture firms and individual designers. Membership fees are subscribed to project aimed and designed building performance analysis and optimization.

Data Life Cycle Analysis is a multi-disciplinary architectural practice that analysis, as a primary value proposition, open source environmental data to inform design decisions. Sun light is our primary environmental data resources which informs lighting, temperature and humidity in building performance. Our job is not limited to the planning and construction stages of the building but extensively participated with building maintenance and building life cycle.

How we work

Our firm is teamed up with two director architects who are equipped with management working background, three scripting skilled architects and three data analytics. We work with subscribed individuals (developers, potential users and volunteers) at early stages of planning projects. Each subscriber will receive a sensor for collecting real time data which will be then send back to our server for front stage data categorization and analyses. We use these collected data for providing substantial graphics for understanding the objectives of the projects, therefore, informs design decisions; as well as encouraging risk management in lump sums and future maintenance.

We also work with architecture schools for student scripting skills training and computing modelling tools and simulators development.
