I graduated with Master of Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia GSAPP and have been working in De-Spec since July 2010. Before that I worked with Arx New York, Per-forma Studio and firms in Middle East. My approach to architectural design is seeing it as an interdisciplinary activity for social and cultural change. Along with professional practice I have continued my research through teaching at Columbia GSAPP and Pratt institute. My area of specialty and interest that I have developed is performative/responsive systems. In different projects, using tools such as Rhino Grasshopper, Revit and further integration with other programs, mainly Ecotect Analysis, has been a big asset for me and helped me to develop and optimize building performance especially in facades and roofing systems and detailing it.
