 Lead a unique experiment with the most sophisticated modeling and management
software currently used by the building industry for its top advanced projects.
 Deployed the use of Building Information Management (BIM) practices and parametric
Mechanical modeling techniques on a level that is unprecedented in a school setting.
 Took advantage of the unique opportunities of academia and trained students to
contribute to cutting-edge research on the use of tools and techniques for information
management, collaboration, and adaptive design.
Lectures/Studio Topics:
 BIM – Mechanical Sustainability.
 Design Space and Digital modeling.
 Production through Information Models.
Disciplines and strategies:
 Envelopes / skins
 Roofs / rooftop profiles
 Courtyards / inner courts
Beginning with the design of generic building components, the work integrated to be on the
component’s adaption to each other and to a series of selected buildings, urban conditions,
infrastructures and scales. The goal was to invent architectural solutions to energy
mitigation in existing buildings, which were speculative, experimental, innovative and
technically feasible.
