Dec 09 to Jul 10. Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University, New York, USA. –

Mechanical Engineering Design on Product Architecture

Columbia is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York, and is the 5th oldest in the United States making it one of the country's nine Colonial Colleges founded before the American Revolution. More Nobel Prize winners (alumni and faculty combined) have been affiliated with Columbia than with any other institution in the world. It is ranked the seventh best in the world.

GSAPP (Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation), Columbia University.

As a BIM Expert joined technical consulting team to the C-BIP (The Columbia Building Intelligence Project) studio.

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.

Jul 08 - Mar 10 Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, New York, NY USA.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) is one of the top leading architecture and urban-planning firms in the world, with a 75-year reputation for design excellence and a portfolio that includes some of the most important architecture of the 20th and 21st centuries. Burj (Dubai) Khalifa (2010), Sears Tower (1973). Freedom Tower (New World Trade Center, NY). The firm has been honored with more than 1100 awards. The American Institute of Architects has recognized SOM twice with its highest honor, the Architecture Firm Award—in 1962 and again in 1996. The firm maintains offices in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Washington, DC, London, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.

SUMMARY:

As a Digital Design Specialist/BIM manager, I had worked on a wide variety of projects ranging from high-end residential to large office and commercial projects. My experience included Mechanical Information Modeling, consultants’ coordination, programming, code analysis, design and fabrication documentation, industrial shop drawing review, and construction administration.

In 2008, I was given the opportunity to assume the duties of BIM Manager for SOM’s New York office which includes coverage of the Washington, DC satellite office. In this role, I had developed and reconciled SOM’s firm-wide BIM Standards, established protocols for training and education, and developed a series of custom productivity tools for technical process.

I was responsible for the implementation and development of Gehry Technology Digital Project at SOM. I developed the bases of training grassroots group of self-motivated individuals and carried this new building information modeling tool into prominence with SOM New York’s Technical Architecture group and had since become the reference for firm-wide implementation as well as template and content development.

PROJECTS:

o Qatar Petroleum Complex, Doha, Qatar. (707,000 sq. meters) o SEZ Office complex, Hyderabad, India. o Kuwait University, Al-Shaddadia, Kuwait. o Ministry of Defense, Paris, France.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
