This project designs a high-density landing hub for electric aircraft (eVTOL). The challenge was stacking so many landing pads without creating a boring, repetitive block. I used parametric tools to manipulate the facade, creating a pattern that shifts and undulates across the surface. This "rhythm" breaks up the heavy visual weight of the structure and creates a sense of movement, making the building feel as dynamic as the aircraft it houses.

Instead of discarding HSS offcuts, this project uses them as the primary building block. The design pairs linear LED strips with a steel frame that stays perfectly balanced on just two hanging points. I built a script to automate the technical details, like wiring paths and part counting, so the chandelier can change shape while staying ready for fabrication. It solves both the visual style and the structural stability in one go.

This project involved four massive sculptures, each built from four overlapping layers of perforated aluminum (CMYK). The challenge was managing the intricate alignment between these layers and the steel substructure. I developed a "digital twin" workflow that integrated structural feedback and fabrication tolerances in real-time. This allowed us to validate every connection and generate cutting data automatically, ensuring that thousands of unique parts came together perfectly during assembly.

The client’s vision was bold: a building skin that didn't just sit there, but reacted to the urban energy around it. To achieve this "dancing" effect, I used parametric tools to generate six completely different design logic systems, not just shapes, but rules. This allowed us to iterate endlessly until we found the perfect balance of light and form. Once the design was locked, I focused on extracting the data to ensure this complex geometry could actually be built.

We were tasked with transforming an existing, standard building into the new home for the Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities. Instead of demolition, we chose transformation. I used parametric modeling to design a complex outer layer that wraps the original structure. This new "envelope" masks the old geometry and gives the university a modern, forward-looking identity without losing the embodied energy of the original concrete.

The original office block was essentially a glass box struggling against the intense Riyadh sun. This project wasn't just about a new look; it was about fixing the internal environment. I used parametric tools to develop a performative fabric shading system that filters solar heat while preserving natural light and views. By wrapping the building in this new skin, we turned an uncomfortable, energy-draining workspace into a shaded, high-performance sanctuary. 

Designing a high-end factory with a rooftop office required balancing industrial scale with professional elegance. The challenge was a long, linear elevation that risked looking monotonous. I used parametric modeling to apply a system of proportional order across the facade. By breaking the massing into a rhythmic sequence of panels and voids.

Designing an Air Traffic Control tower in the vast plains of Al Qassim required a balance between technical stringency and visual presence. The project demanded 360-degree visibility and strict height constraints. Departing from static, traditional forms, I used a parametric modeling workflow to develop a twisting, spiraling structure.

Qatif is a city defined by the sea. For this square, we didn't want a literal statue. Instead, we abstracted the motion of a fisherman casting his net. The design uses a dynamic circular form that looks like it's being "knitted" in mid-air. We added fiber optics to the strands, so at night, it becomes a glowing mix of old tradition and new tech.
