Selected Work

Practice for Architecture and Urbanism

New York

My role as Associate included design at every stage of the project, implementation of BIM parametric capabilities through Grasshopper and Rhino, and efficient highly realistic visualization using Vray. My experience working with emerging technologies and the latest trends in digital innovation, such as parametric modeling and virtual reality rendering, further enhanced my ability to contribute effectively to the ongoing success of the practice.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, located in Cleveland, is undergoing an expansion that aims to double the size of the museum. The expansion includes a new entry lobby and public space, an acoustically-designed and sub-divisible performance venue, classrooms, and a 1,350 person event venue. My role involved working on design, 3D modeling, and visualization during the SD phase. Later in DD, I was responsible for BIM documentation pertaining to facade and roofing systems. This involved coordinating details among various consultants and overseeing the production of final drawings.

Given the unconventional geometry of this building, computational design played a significant role throughout the process. I was able to model and render Virtual Reality scenes to effectively communicate our design decisions to the client; providing a realistic and immersive experience to visualize and understand the proposed materials and geometries. The imagery show here was rendered using geometry exported from BIM and customized Vray materials.

I helped PAU to successfully win the competition to design the FAA’s new sustainable air traffic control tower prototype, which will be adapted to replace over 100 aging towers in regional and municipal airports across the nation. My role was focused on design, visualization and 3D modeling, to create realistic representations of the towers. We conceived a tower that excels in functionality and environmentally conscious practices, both during construction, operation and use.
