01 / THE ARCHITECTEVERY SYSTEM STARTS WITH A FOUNDATION

THE FOUNDATION

BEFORE
INFORMATION,
THERE
WAS SPACE.

I graduated in Architecture and Engineering from Modern Academy in 2019. At Kaitech, that foundation grew into architectural BIM, model coordination and construction information.

Architecture gave me the foundation.
BIM would give me the system.

02 / DISCOVERING BIMARCHITECTURE BECOMES INFORMATION

DRAWING → GEOMETRY → INFORMATION

A DIFFERENT
DIMENSION
OF THINKING.

Architecture taught me how buildings work. BIM taught me how information builds them.

THE BIM ARCHITECT / INK YARD, LONDON

FROM
EXISTING
TO BUILDABLE.

At Ink Yard, I developed the BIM model, resolved facade details and produced construction information with Joe Miles Architect.

03 / THE BIM COORDINATORSEE THE CONNECTIONS

ARCHITECTURE / STRUCTURE / MEP / INFRA

ONE MODEL.
MANY
PERSPECTIVES.

I stopped looking at disciplines individually. I started looking at the project as one connected system.

BEYOND
THE MODEL.
I MANAGE
DELIVERY.

My role grew from coordinating models to managing the system around them: the team, the information, the standards and the way we deliver.

Define the direction.

I translate project requirements into the BEP, its appendices, modeling standards and a clear federation strategy.
