EDUCATION

scripting

Junior Architect.

-Worked on several large scale projects located in France, Morocco and Romania. These included a commercial center and a mosque in Marrakech, a travel agency in Marseille, multiple apartment buildings in Bucharest and many smaller projects.

-Worked together with other architects as well as independently under tight time schedules -Balanced multiple stakeholders and attended direct client meetings to work out further solutions -Created 3D visualizations in Archicad and Lumion for presentations -Created technical details, fire security scenarios and schedules in Archicad -Took initiative to implement Archicad’s Teamwork function in order to make developing larger scale projects more efficient -Coded during idle periods of time a Windows Form Application in C# using Microsoft Visual Studio, which calculates reinforced concrete structures, in order to help my colleagues use plausible dimensions for structural elements.

Internship Architect.

- Developed high energy efficient porous concrete facade panels in Rhino & Grasshopper together with partner company Cemex. I also took initiative to create a Grasshopper-algorithm to test the parameters of different panels, but also generate new 3d models, when input changed.

- Represented my office by giving a lecture at Universitat Internacional de Catalunya to students participating to Climate Concrete 2.0 Workshop about my high energy efficient panel designs.

-Created renderings for office website in Keyshot.

Internship Architect.

-Built a detailed BIM model in Archicad for Fette Compacting office building in order to speed up and to optimize ongoing construction works. The simulations and schedules I made helped the company finish its 4 story building before the end of 2017.

-Made 3d animations and renderings in Lumion, including one final 15-minute-long video, for presenting solutions to partners and specialists.

-Helped introduce and implement BIM to my office’s workflow.

Internship Designer.

-Designed new, innovative urban furniture in Archicad, including benches, street lamps and rubbish bins.The designs took into consideration material efficiency and the technical limitations of the studio’s workshop. The materials used included wood, metal and concrete.

- Created a Grasshopper algorithm for transforming grayscale images into vector based file for laser cutting, which saved valuable time by automating a previously manual process.
