International Transit Station

Together with Perkins + Will I provided BIM design and development for an international multi-modal transit hub. The landscape architecture team was responsible for the design of all outdoor and indoor public environments. These iconic spaces were generated by incorporating high volume traffic flow studies.

In order to coordinate with several multi-disciplinary teams located in various countries, Revit was implemented as the primary tool for design and documentation. This allowed for an efficient and streamlined process that involved live model interaction and clash detection.

University Campus – BIM Documentation

This project aims to construct approximately 3,000 beds of student housing, a child care center, living-learning amenities, supports spaces, site and utility infrastructure and a dynamic social and academic Hub inclusive of food service facilities, engaging spaces for study and wellness activities, and outdoor plazas and connector spaces for the community and campus at large.

Due to the scale of the project and in order to coordinate across multi-disciplinary teams located in California, Oregon, Seattle, and Illinois, documentation in Revit / BIM 360 was implemented. As part of the Walker | Macy team in Portland I lead the transition into Revit for site documentation.

Parametric Bench Surface

As part of the OPSIS/Walker Macy team, I assisted in the design and documentation of new site intended to accommodate new workshop and classroom facilities. To locate the main entrance of the new building, a series of decorative benches that celebrate the metal fabrication specialization of the college were envisioned. Using parametric design tools (Grasshopper / Rhino 3D) a series of evocative images were translated to a series of perforated backlit meshes.

Building Terrain and Shelter through Generative Design

While working on a large campus for an international medical supplies company I applied Grasshopper/Rhino 3D schemes to quickly prototype topographical and planting design typologies. This gave the team an opportunity to visualize various concept options in real-time.

Using simple rules and native Grasshopper components, we created frameworks from which the profiles and sections of topographical berms could be shaped directly in 3D through a visual aid.

The team also explored Grasshopper functions to prototype different planting layouts. These parametric schemes were developed and presented in real-time to test out the feasibility of several design options. In particular, the planting for the graded berms called for a blended gradient between two different species. After the layout was finalized in Grasshopper it was converted to CAD for final sheet production.
