Leadership Edge Special Edition: A SHoP Architects Case Study
SHoP Architects pioneers a transformative approach to architectural practice, blending advanced digital tools with human-centered design to redefine how buildings are conceived, delivered, and operated in the modern era.

Overview
In an industry often constrained by outdated workflows, siloed stakeholders, and risk-averse contracts, SHoP Architects has emerged as a beacon of what’s possible when architecture embraces innovation without losing its soul. Today, John Cerone takes us behind the curtain, and I have to thank him once again for being willing to do so. We need more of this in the AEC industry!
Through model-based delivery, empathetic collaboration, and bespoke digital tools, SHoP is evolving from an architecture firm into a catalyst for industry transformation—one project at a time.
This case study explores how SHoP is designing the future of architectural practice today, and what AEC leaders can learn from their approach.
