ABOUT

I’m David Fano, my self and 2 partners (Federico Negro and Steve Sanderson) started  CASE (www.case-inc.com) a design technology consultancy in 2008. I previously worked at SHoP Architects, where I was Director of Technology Research. My responsibilities included managing technology R&D initiatives, working with project teams to ensure the successful implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM), and developing “direct to fabrication” initiatives with software manufacturers and fabricators through the use of BIM. I contributed technology expertise on numerous projects, including a 41-story rental tower in New York City and The New Seaport - a 860,000 sq. ft. multi-use development in New York City’s Historic Seaport District. Since 2006, I have been an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation where I teaches Meshing, Re-thinking BIM, and Orchestration, focused on exploring how technology can transform design processes. I received my Master of Architecture with honors from Columbia University where I was the recipient of the Lucille Smyser Lowenfish Memorial Prize and the Computer Aided Design Honor Award.
