ADVANCING COMPUTATIONAL BUILDING DESIGN 2019
On July 29-31, 2019, I presented at Advancing Computational Building Design 2019 in Chicago, IL.
As a representative of SOM, I presented a session called "Leveraging Computation Software to Save Time in Conceptual Design Modeling."
My talk was centered around SOM’s expertise in Tall Tower Design, and the computational workflow the firm has developed to generate quick design iterations, optimize designs, and seamlessly transfer data between software platforms.
turner fleisher architects presentation
On September 27, 2019, I was invited to present to Turner Fleisher Architects in Toronto, Canada. I shared my presentation “Computational Modeling for Tall Tower Concept Design” from Advancing Computational Building Design 2019.
“We were so impressed with this presentation when we heard it at the Advancing Computational Building Design Conference in Chicago we had to share it with members of our studio. Sharing knowledge with our colleagues in the AEC industry is the way we all get better together.”
- Ellen Bensky, CEO at Turner Fleisher Architects Inc.
ADVANCING COMPUTATIONAL BUILDING DESIGN 2018
On July 23-25, 2018, I participated in Advancing Computational Building Design 2018.
As a representative of SOM, I spoke on a panel titled "Hearing How Designers Are Finding the Time to Develop Computation Tools and Ensuring the Time Savings Are Greater Than the Investment."
I was joined by two other digital design leaders to discuss topics including task automation, the design of computational tools, and the process for identifying effective tools.
ELS DESIGN TECH GROUP
I co-initiated the ELS Design Tech Group at ELS Architecture + Urban Design in late 2016. I also led the computational design and digital fabrication stream, and taught numerous hands-on group training sessions for visual scripting.
The Design Tech Group created an infrastructure for firm-wide resource management, hosted numerous presentations and training sessions, and developed more efficient workflows for the office.
