Design-to-Production

confidential project material

Joined D2P in the digital planning team for complex-geometry architecture projects mainly on the UCB HQ by Heatherwick Studio :

  • Research in digital fabrication and installation methods
  • Coordination and 3D assertion of reference models
  • Programming Python scripts to generate wooden structure details
  • Processes and tools documentation

Zaha Hadid Architects

confidential project material

Developed complex geometry façade systems of Torre Bora, the tallest residential tower in Mexico City with 60k m² of prime apartments & facilities, and joined an invited competition in Seoul, South Korea.

  • Developed a thorough envelope definition in Rhino + GH to stay flexible with consultants/manufacturers’ requirements and creating a detailed DD package
  • Shortlisted concepts for 2 design alternatives of 195.000 m² prime offices and a 2000-seat concert hall

Laboratory for Explorative Architecture & Design (LEAD)

Participated in the design development and drawing packages of a 1 km-long mixed-use complex building façade design and developed competitions.

Three significant projects:

  • Ningbo K11 Art Mall – Façade systems, balconies, skylights and atria
  • Seoul Creative Play – Mixed-use community center & theatre
  • WKCD Pavilion – Hyper light-weight temporary structure

Kyotec Group – Hong Kong

Joined the international team of the free-form façade’s contractor – Kyotec Group – on Morpheus Hotel Tower, the new premier landmark hotel of City of Dreams in Macau designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.  It taught me a lot about construction know-how, design stages and the importance of fine detailing – and tolerances! Combining these assets made me well-versed in what came next.

ArchArch.be

In September 2013, I founded ArchArch.be – the sharing platform for the best architecture students in Belgium. Six architecture faculties joined the movement with more than 250+ projects from first to last year. This online exhibition hall was the only one of its kind with more than 200k page views from 50k single users over 4 years. I saw it as a booster of creativity in architecture school.

In August 2015, I was asked to join the team of researchers at UCL university to design two online platforms becoming focal tools to the architecture workshops Lab-Istanbul & Youyang-Lab.

The production includes a wide range of critical material from beforeduring and after the visits to Istanbul, Turkey.

Throughout my work, I love to keep records of the construction and model-making process. Enjoy !
