Production Way
Production way is an office building located in Burnaby, BC outside of Vancouver. It consists of two main programmatic bars that are connected by a multi-story bridge between. The building utilizes a hybrid structural system consisting of a concrete core with engineered timber beams and cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor panels. The facade is envisioned as a panelized system made up of CLT backup with a formed metal rainscreen. The wide use of CLT allows for mass componentization of the building and will allow for rapid construction.

FACADE DEVELOPMENT - ANALYZING RESULTS The concept for the facade was to create a system that responds to the incident solar radiation while not compromising the quality of view out. A parametric workflow was developed that allowed the designers to weight the importance of these two factors in order to generate a pattern across the facade that would be both varied and effective. In parallel, it was possible to track the number of unique panels in real time while making these changes. The result is a visually varied, environmentally responsive, and material/cost efficient facade.

Brooklyn Waterfront Development
This project consists of 2 towers of luxury residential condos, one at 44 Stories and one at 34 stories, and a 5 story podium of middleincome rental housing. The two towers are joined by a large cantilevered portion 4 stories tall, complete with a pool and sun deck on top. The podium consists of two bars that frame out a new interior pedestrian promenade known as “India Lane”. The main facade design expression is achieved through a gradient of changing punched window sizes that serve as a diagram of the structural forces at play. Beneath the cantilever is the “River Room”, meant to seve as the “Front Porch of Brooklyn” facing the East River waterfront and connecting to the nearby Greenpoint ferry pier. The project’s prominent position along the Greenpoint waterfront makes it an imposing figure along the East River skyline

My main responsibility on this project was to develop the details for the custom masonry facade. The facade consists of a custom profiled, terracotta glazed brick. The alternating pattern creates a checkerboard effect of in and out as the bricks are stacked. The bricks are supported by a thermally broken shelf angle in order to achieve a higher thermal performance than typical masonry cavity wall construction systems. The bricks are infilled with large punched windows which open in, in order to allow window cleaning without the use of a BMU.

Guiyang World Trade Center
The Guiyang World Trade Center is a supertall tower in Guiyang, China. It is a mixed-use tower consisting of office, and hotel floors. It uses a perimeter structural system that allows for completely clear span floor plates, by keeping all structural columns on the perimeter. The building form tapers towards the top and has rounded edges to reduce wind loads as the tower reaches its supertall height. The facade consists of large, double-curved metal panels which create an undulating surface running the entire height of the tower.
Type: Professional Year: 2017 Location: Guiyang, CN
SOM 2017
My role on this project was to develop a fabrication level model to share with the local metal fabricators in China. We had prepared drawings to attempt to convey the complex geometry of the facade panels, however it quickly became apparent that 2D representation was not going to be enough. I developed a computational workflow for splitting the design surfaces of the facade into fabrication quality models. The workflow also allowed us to embed fabrication data into the model along with a naming convention that conveyed a lot of information about the panels themselves

F3 Tower
The F3 Tower is a 56 story office tower in Guiyang China rising to a height of almost 300 meters. This was a core and shell project. The main design expression of this project consists of a concave, unitized window wall facade defined by panels that gradually shift in orientation as they move away from the center. This results in a sublte and articulated facade that is able to self shade itself and prevent the concave facade from becoming a solar magnifier. The spandrel zones are covered with an articulated series of fins which are able to conceal mechanical grills at mechanical floors without disrupting the facade. The building is topped by an outdoor “Chairman’s Lounge” with a large spire constructed of box steel.

Domino Sugar Factory Site E
Thelen Design Group (TDG) was brought on to the Domino project in order to develop computational workflows for coordinatin with the fabricator that was producing the copper and zinc perforated rain screen panels on the facade. The designers had developed a series of unique perforation patterns that were propagated accross the building. TDG was tasked with categorizing them into types based on their unique panel dimensions and various panel characteristics. Through the use of cloud based workflows, we were able to seamlessly move between softwares in order to develop a parametric model in which all characteristics were embedded into the facade panels. This allowed us to quickly generate color coded models in order to communicate the variation that occurs throughout the facade. We were also able to quickly generate datasets for the fabricator to allow them to easily generate shop tickets for each unique panel family.

The other major task at hand on this project was to create a series of drawings that would aide the builders in the installation of the panels. The first layer of drawings was a roadmap for where each panel type should be placed on the building. The second was a more intricate representation of the actual panel sub-structure. Since the panel supports needed to be spaced at specific intervals, and mounted to the studs, this drawing was invaluable as it would basically become a demonstration of where to place the actual wall studs. A set of 987 elevations was produced on 11x17 sheets so that the builders could bring the drawings to site and easily carry them around while they installed the panels.
Construction Progress
Hudson Yards Tower D
Thelen design group (TDG) worked closely with the curtain wall fabricators on Tower D in order to streamline workflows between the design model and fabrication of the glass curtain wall. We developed computational tools to aide in the rationalization of the building facade. Our parametric model was embedded with information pertaining to each curtain wall panel such as dimensions, unit shape, and what type of glass infill was to be used (glazing, shadow box, vent, etc). The tower podium was a highly complex pattern responding to the internal labrynth of mechanical equipment. This part of the building had its own set of parameters dealing with louver types, glazing types, removable panels and their neighbors, and adjacency points of offset panels.

The curvature of the building is achieved through the use of cold-bent glass. The initial design model is modeled with these warped surfaces in their ideal state. We developed a computational worklfow that would unfold each panel, generate the closest rectangular representation of that panel, then refold the rectangular panel back onto the building. If the overlap with the adjacent panels was within a tolerance that was established by the fabricator, the rectangular version of the panel would be used, rather than the irregular trapezoidal version. This allowed us to decrease the number of unique panels throughout the building.

The second scope of work undertaken on this project was to develop fabrication models for the sculpted stone panels at the base of the building. These panels were quite large (5-7 feet tall) and had a high amount of variation. Many of the panels were extremely twisted, so developing a strategy for fabricating and installing them was a major challenge. The construction engineers were working exclusively in 2D, so our 3D models became crucial for helping them to understand the complex geometries involved in the project. There was constant back and forth with the engineers to identify challenge areas and develoop solutions. Our model was also used for coordinating models and information from other contractors and trades involved on the project.

The models we developed for the stone panels had to be to an extremely high level of detail, as the stone fabricators were going to make the panels directly from our 3D models. Through the use of the 3DExperience CATIA platform, we were able to generate models with high level of precision all the way down to the brackets that would connect the stone panels to the steel support structure. Since the support structure was to be built out of all straight steel members, we developed a boss on the back of the panel which would orient the support brackets so that they would sit directly on the steel member behind.

Kiev Bridge Proposal
This project was a proposal for an international design competition to design a pedestrian/cycle bridge between two parks in Kiev, Ukraine. Working with the bridges group of Buro Happold Engineers, the aim of this project was to bridge the enormous span (approx. 200m) with as few supports as possible. The proposed solution called for a single conical pier approximately at the 1/3 point of the span, resting on a platform in the trees below. The deck splits around the support creating a void that penetrates the dense tree canopy, allowing light to reach the area below. On the deck, visitors are given the sensation of hovering above the tree tops while being treated to unobstructed views of the Dnieper River. From below, the pier is a usable space, providing unique views upward through the structure of the bridge to the sky above.

The structure of the bridge relies mainly on the conical pier and two arches along the centers of the two main spans. These arches are kept as low as possible in order to not compete visually with the nearby friendship arch, a towering 50m arch sympolizing the friendship between the Ukraine and Russia. The deck is supported by crossing profiles every 2m along the entire bridge. This proposal placed third in the international competition (there was no first prize awarded).
Market Up
The Market Up project is part of a revitalization of the Maboneng Precinct neighborhood of Johannesburg, South Africa. The site of the project is a cluster of industrial buildings which are being converted into a mixed use housing/retail development. The existing industrial buildings are converted into retail spaces, while new housing buildings are floated above. The driving lines that generate these housing volumes are based on view lines from different parts of the site and surrounding area. There is also a 9-story tower propsed on the southwest end of the site. All buildings are clad in a precast concrete panel whose openings vary in size depending on their solar orientation. Also, depending on the orientation of the panels, a different colored glass is used as aggregate in the concrete in order to give each facade a unique appearance.

The project is broken into 3 phases. The first phase includes the tower and a parkade structure which also contains various event spaces. The second phase includes new housing volumes floated above an eixisting sawtooth industrial building. The third phase consists of a second floating residential volume above a pair of existing recycling buildings. The roofs of the housing volumes become public spaces, both paved and green. In all, the project covers approximately 45,000 m2.

Oak Restaurant
This project was part of a renovation to the Oak at Fourteenth restaurant in Boulder, CO after a destructive fire. The purpose of this design was to add a sculptural element to an existing structural wall to serve as a divider between the main dining area and the secondary/private dining area. The design concept was to create an undulating surface from horizontal timber slats which could be lit from within. Due to spatial constraints, this undulation is very slight (an amplitude of 6 inches). However, this slight wave in the surface produces subtle effects as lighting conditions change. A parametric model was developed in order to allow for quick adjustments to be made and for fabrication purposes.

The supporting studs each had to be cut to a unique profile to accommodate the curvature of the surface. Due to budget constraints, CNC routing was not an option, so 1:1 templates were printed out, and the studs were profiled by hand on-site from the appropriate standard timber members.

Material Systems - Adaptive Windbreak
The objective of this project was to design a pavilion to be sited in a plaza defined by the London City Hall building, an open air amphitheatre known as “The Scoop”, and the River Thames. The pavilion’s surface was required to respond to one or more environmental stimuli. This project addressed the high levels of wind that are felt on site. The research focused on the branching logic of trees and the resulting damping effect that allows the trees to dissipate wind energy while at the same time filtering wind through dense layers of foliage. A componentbased system was developed to create an articulated surface made up of different masses with different resonant frequencies, that would vibrate in different wind conditions in order to create a responsive wind shelter.

Formal explorations were carried out at the component level as well as at the level of the global geometry simultaneously. At the component level, variations in porosity and mass distribution were analyzed using both physical and digital models. Finite element analysis, allowed for simulation of component vibrations when subjected to the wind conditions of the site. The global geometry was designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, so as not to increase windspeed around the structure. Computational fluid dynamics were used to identify pressure zones along the surface. This information then informed the placement of components with different levels of porosity, resulting in a differentiated and responsive wind break surface.
Urban Systems - D-Hydra
The objective of this project was to investigate an alternative to the traditional approach to urban design. This project was inspired by the Greek city of Hydra, where the city was created by creating buildings rather than the typical topdown approach. Typically, a master plan is developed for the entire site and all of the buildings and networks must fit inside. This project proposes the opposite. This research proposes a bottom-up system that uses an algorithmic growth logic in which there are no preconceived notions regarding arrangement of buildings or networks. Instead, a set of simple parametric rules of local interaction based on inputs from the site (primary nodes, secondary nodes, site boundaries) guide the growth of buildings, clusters, and networks.

The emergent transportation networks between clusters and between buildings are evaluated for connectivity, modified, and then re-evaluated in order to apply typologies with differing levels of “openness�, thus diversifying the quality of urban space, providing for different lifestyles, and exploring the relationship between typology and city network. Buildings located on highly connected parts of the network are assigned more solid typologies, since the primary city network is easily accessible . Buildings which are in less connected parts of the network are assigned more open typologies that allow for the emergence of secondary networks to help connect them to the primary network more quickly.

Scripting Workshop
During the Emtech course, we took part in a week long python scripting workshop. It began with learning various basic scripting techniques and syntax. As the week progressed, we learned more and more complex methods such as recursion, and sampling of complex surfaces. The focus of the workshop was to understand the potentials of scripting in creating complex (not necessarily complicated) forms. It was also meant to explore the potentials for fabricating these designs with the use of laser cutting and 3D printing.

A very useful tool that was learned during this workshop was the sampling and tesselation of doubly curved surfaces. A relatively simple script can be altered easily in order to change the geometric composition of the tesselation. In this case, the three shown are a triangulated tesselation, a quadrangualar tesselation, and a hexagonal tesselation. The final assignment for the workshop was to find a structure or pattern in nature and attempt to extract geometric principles from it in order to write an algorithm that could translate the pattern into Rhino. My work focused on barnacles and resulted in a spiked surface which was differentiated based on an attractor point. Spikes closer to the attractor were short and porous, while spikes further away from the attractor were taller and more closed. This work was featured in articles on both evolo.com and suckerpunchdaily.com.

Digital Fabrication - Popup Cinema
This project was a prototype for a deployable, modular enclosure for a pop up cinema in Hackney. A major requirement was that it be easy to disassemble and pack away in a short amount of time. The solution was a set of stackable, doubly curved panels. The curvature of each panel is slight, but when assembled into a whole, they produce enough double curvature to achieve structural stability. The fabrication method used to achieve this curvature was a synergy of traditional carpentry and digital fabrication methods. The 4 timber members of each panel were cut with a compound mitre cut (angled in two directions) at each end. Each panel contains 3 unique mitre cuts, each of which had its own laser-cut jig template to aid in the fabrication process.

Double curvature providing global structure rigidity
In order to join the members at this double angle, we developed a hybrid joint consisting of a 3D printed connection piece made from ABS plastic. The advantage of this new and innovative method is that the complex joinery that would be required to produce the joint only out of timber was eliminated. The timber pieces required only linear cuts, and the 3D printed piece served to solve the problem of the double angle connection. For the footings, a separate 3D printed piece was developed that was more reinforced structurally, and served to bring the doubly angled joint down to the ground at a 90 Degree angle.

MArch Thesis - Adaptive Flux Morphologies
In urban design, morphology is typically developed through opportunities of vacant patches or derelict areas which can be addressed by a “tabula rasa� approach. It is very rare for urban studies to couple morphologies with the actual flows that make up the city. Our strategy is one that adds new nodes to the urban fabric and reworks the city network by adding new layers to the transport infrastructure. Its surrounding areas are rebuilt with programs that can be associated with the flow of people. This approach results in a transfer of information from the urban scale to the local architectural scale, demonstrating a strong connection between urban flows and architectural morphologies. This system lends itself to cultures in which there are large, public market spaces where the markets could be coupled with relatively high density residential programs. Our methods combined computational tools of both simulation and analysis with an emphasis on the section as the driving morphological generator. The slime mould Physarum Polycephalum is capable of creating networks between points that closely mimic manmade transport networks. Its behaviour was abstracted into an agent-based computational system for designing networks. Type: Graduate Year: 2012-2013 Location: Lagos, NG

Applied in the City of Lagos, Nigeria, different transportation network solutions produced by the computational system are evaluated for their P value, which is calculated as a ratio of minimum span length, to total network length. Networks in which all nodes are not connected are discarded, as well as networks that do not offer suitable routes in all directions. The existing urban fabric (bottom left) and the proposed modification based on the highest performing network (bottom right) are evaluated in space syntax. Implementation of the proposed network results in an improved integration of 40% of the urban fabric.

3 nodes were chosen to develop on the architectural scale. These nodes were chosen from areas with completely different urban characteristics and expected populations and flows. A localised space syntax evaluation is perfomed in order to identify the top 35% most integrated streets in the area. These streets will serve as pedestrian nodes and are fed into the network generation algorithm to create a new pedestrian network (top middle). Each line of the network is assigned a percentage of the daily flow which it will need to accommodate and distribute to the surrounding fabric. Based on the case study of the Tokyo Metropolitan area, population density is most concentrated around the station node and along the network lines themselves. The result is a heterogeneous distribution of population throughout the Node (middle right). The flow associated with each network line determines the required amount of commercial space (bottom middle), and the distribution of population determines the amount of housing space required to be built above for each block(bottom right).

The section shows the diverse spatial configurations that can emerge from the system. While the system is able to accommodate much higher levels of density than the existing fabric, it is also able to maintain the porous commercial space typical of African markets and also create new public/ semi-public green spaces on the interior of the blocks. There are still areas with room for improvement. These volumes are merely suggestions of a morphology that would be further developed by individual architects. The boundary condition between old fabric and new can still be further developed. Also, further morphological refinement could be achieved by integrating environmental criteria into the generation process of the individual building blocks.
