Studio NYL

Project Engineer, Enrico Gutierrez, is our next team member highlight for our #SNYLturns20 series. When did you first become interested in architecture or engineering as a career? 🎤”Funny enough, computer games were an early source of inspiration for my interest in art and architecture. Growing up, the process of building and designing something, whether it is a virtual city or the theme park of my dreams, was very attractive to me. The sense of accomplishment after seeing something completed was a major reason architecture/engineering appealed to me.” What is your favorite Denver-area building or structure? Why? 🎤”Out of all of the amazing buildings that have gone up in the Denver area since moving to Colorado, one of my favorite buildings is the historic Denver Union station. The building, along with the subsequent development of its surrounding neighborhood, quickly became a hub for me to grab coffee, read, and people watch.” What has been your most proud moment as an architect/engineer? 🎤”I think my most memorable moment was the first time that I saw one of my projects fully completed.” What do you see as the largest barrier to a zero-waste building, city, and world? 🎤”Studies show that concrete generates 8% of human-made CO2 emissions. As engineers, it is important for us to reduce the quantities of concrete that we specify in our projects, and to specify efficient concrete mixes.” Any guilty pleasures you would recommend? 🎤”Buying yourself a nice bike - it fundamentally changed how I perceive the built environment. Plus, it's great exercise!”

The Denver Botanic Gardens Science Pyramid is a museum space dedicated to the research performed at the Gardens. The design is intended to show that bespoke architecture can also be a high-performance sustainable building. The building’s intent is that beautiful iconic structures can also be high-performance buildings to set an example that these goals are not mutually exclusive. This combination of beauty and environmentally conscious design aligns with the Garden’s mission. Studio NYL provided Structural and Facade design services. As this building has a complex form and is sited in a manner that does not permit easy access for construction equipment, the design needed to take into account a wide variety of constraints. The schedule also represented a challenge in that the structure needed to be designed and built in 9 months. Using high-definition modeling and prefabrication techniques Studio NYL provided not just design drawings but also shop drawings and fabrication models for many of the subcontractors.
