The use of 3D modeling and analysis through cove.tool has impacted project design from concept to construction. Studies include solar radiation, annual sunlight exposure, spatial daylight autonomy, and carbon analysis to inform and optimize building massing, program arrangement, materiality and longevity, and systems integration.

Coral reefs are the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems, providing unquantifiable services to our planet and its people. However, due to anthropogenic circumstances, such as rising temperatures and an increase in acidity, our oceans are becoming hostile environments for coral, which are on track to disappear by 2050. This project aims to identify hazardous conditions on the forefront and communicate the need for change, while simultaneously restoring degraded reefs.

Located at the closed Tegel Airport, The Urban Tech Republic- a science, technology, research, and innovation hub- aims to re-imagine the future of sustainable cities through research and biophilic technologies. Taking inspiration from slime mold and running digital scripts, the transportation network creates efficient connections and fosters social interaction. Urban farming towers are implemented at key locations along the network for accessibility and community involvement opportunities.

The future public library inspires users to nurture and learn about their earth- functioning as a central hub for resources and nature. As one of the last true public spaces, the library serves as a common space for uncommon users. Providing the opportunities to explore sustainable practices, offers community amenities, such as farmers’ markets and garden spaces encircled by resources, and provides social services, such as pop up clinics and tax help.
