Mode is a design office that leverages computational expertise through design research, teaching, and consulting.
Mode utilizes diverse methodologies including code, associative and relational strategies, as well as digital fabrication in the production of material organizations and the formation of space.
While we are interested in intense iterative design processes, we believe the evolution and contextualization of these procedures in a broader social and cultural domain is both our primary objective and the means for embedding interest and significance into design.

Mode is Ronnie Parsons and Gil Akos.

Monterrey Stadium

Studio Mode was commissioned by Populous in New York City to design a custom parametric model and digital environment for the schematic and design development phases of a futbol stadium in Monterrey, Mexico.

The project required the ability to achieve iterative development of the stadium’s overall form, skin, and associated surface geometry, including material break-lines and “gilled” apertures. The model was generated using associative logics related to main driver geometry based in a 1:1 metric and utilized the extension of the chosen parametric design platform, Grasshopper, through custom built and scripted nodes.
