About 

HELLO! My name is Cody Campbell. I have earned a bachelor of Science degree from the Knowlton School of Architecture at The Ohio State University. I have also recently obtained my Masters (Professional) degree in The Department of Architecture and Urban Design at UCLA. I have a resourceful set of architectural design skills which include 3D modelling, 3D rendering, digital fabrication, 2D architectural drafting, 2D presentation, model making, graphic and web design. I have been fortunate enough to work for three highly respected architecture firms -- Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill Architecture in Chicago, Illinois,Belzberg Architects in Santa Monica, California, and Gensler in Santa Monica, California. While employed at Smith+Gill, I worked under the guidance of a registered architect of 15 years. While employed at Belzberg Architects, I worked closely with nine other young and very talented architects, and was guided closely by the firm principal, Hagy Belzberg. During my time at Gensler, I collaborated with teams on an 18,000 seat NBA-size basketball arena in Shenyang, China. I also worked on a residential tower in Kioichio, Tokyo and a masterplan in Playa Vista, Los Angeles, all while reporting to project manager and registered architect Eric Stultz.

I worked on various stages of design including pre-design, concept design, schematic design, design development, and feasibility studies. I have benefitted greatly from my experiences at all three firms and I have learned many phases of the architectural process.

{Projects}
SHENBEI ARENA | A 40,000 sq m basketball arena located in Shenyang, China. The project is the first major project to be completed in a masterplan for one million people. My duties included preparing a shematic design package as well as a design development package for the arena. I also was responsible for developing a grasshopper script that would panelize the non-developable exterior skin of the arena with a typical panel.

The script as well as the further development of the skin was presented on behalf of GENSLER as part of a larger EXTREME BIM CONFERENCE held at USC in July of 2011.

KIOICHIO RESIDENTIAL TOWER | The project was a competition for a 30-story residential tower located in Kioichio, Tokyo, Japan. I was asked to develop a script that would allow for freedom to manipulate a surface (exterior skin) that would always be rationalized with a standard 1m x 2m glass panel. This was done by exploring techniques with multiple softwares which included Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, and Kangaroo Live Physics.

PLAYA VISTA MASTERPLAN | I assisted with some condeptual ideas and diagrams during the pre-design and conceptual design process

CRYSTAL CENTER | a dramatic arts center prototype located in a harbor in the heart of Dubai. The project consisted of eleven crystal-like hotel and condo structures which cantilever up to 230 ft. above the water. I was responsible for pre-design, conceptual design, digitally modelling and test rendering the project as well as collaborating with animation and rendering companies in China and local model builders to produce the final proposal the the client.

SUPERPHASE | consisted of three residential complexes that lie at the foot of the world's next tallest building located in the heart of Dubai. The three structures combined to provide 542 different types of residential units that include studios, one, two, and three bedrooms. I was responsible for pre-designing, conceptual designing, digitally modelling and rendering the project as well as schematic design.

ONE DUBAI | One Dubai is a combination of three supertall towers each of which would be at least 600 meters tall, which are all joined at the base. The building would be the world’s tallest structure and would house a combination of 5 and 6 star hotels, office and retail space, and some of the world’s highest condominiums. I was responsible for doing a series of interior test renderings in order to visualize the interior layout and materials of the condominiums.
