Due to the huge size s of the daata sets and the overlapping nature off the cloud points (since multiple m overrlapping scans nto one mod del, to yield a weree taken), I wrote custom software to dilute and integrate thee point cloud data sets in s reduced file size with w sufficien nt accuracy. From F this mo odel, I created the virtual reality wherre accurate measurement m can be b taken at an ny time – basically bringingg the model to t the architeect’s office.

This prroject was sponsored s byy the non-profit philanthropic group p "Partneers in Health”” – headed by b Dr. Paul Farmer.

F I deeveloped this proposaal as part of the t Universityy of Miami Alumni Studio. The directivee was to create a safee design (conforming to th he IBC) that was w simple to o w a relattively low co ost, using lo ocal labor an nd materialss. build, with Constru uction of the actual a school has since been completed d.

The top pographical su urface was crreated, usingg Globalmapp per and Revitt.

Environ nmental analyysis was donee, using Climaate Consultan ntandEcotectt.

Revit was w used to co ontain the ovverall design and a the details were donee in CA ATIA, and then imported into Revit. RSMeans cosst database was used to o derive the building costts.I also did a strucctural simulattion which tessted my desiggn proposal with w forces th hat reflected the t severe eaarthquake maagnitudes (per ASCEE 7-10) and th he hurricane-fforce winds.

A prep fabricated housin ng unit buillt around a dodecahedron spacee-frame structure was detailed d and proposed. The T superior strength h of the do odecahedral space-frame (a plato onic solid) waas demonstraated and com mpared to other geom metric forms.

This project was initially done e, using Reviit (Architectu ure, MEP & Structure) at the early concepttual stage, and a ous other geometrical form ms were explo ored. The dessign vario was then t realized d (each part, sub-assemblyy and assemb bly) and detaiiled as a kit of parts, using Inventor and d Catia plaatforms. Thee design wass structurallyy simulated d, using both Inventor an nd Catia builttin tools.

The pressentation plaates were detailed d with h exploded views (Inven ntor Publisher) to illustratee the assem mbly processs for each sub-assembly s y.

Photorealistic renderings were produced usingg 3 model. In addition, thee the conceeptual Revit 3D detailed Inventor dessign was imm mersed into a photorealistic virtual reality setting s usingg Showcase e and various rendered views weree extraacted and presented.A ph hotorealistic video was ccreated from the Showcase virtual reeality, to dem monstrate thee adap ptability of th he design pro oposal to diffferent contexxt. The design was animated a witthin different virtual realityy context setttings.

We then cleaned and reinforced th he chassiswith steel members. A structural steel s frame was w then desiggned and weelded onto the chasssis.I blueprinted the chasssis, developed the strucctural, electriical, plumbing draw wings and dessigned a novvel, retractab ble sanitary taank, using Re evit MEP and system - with Revitt Structure. I also designe ed and simulaated a solar photovoltaic p detaiiled engineering specificattion, per the client's c requirrements.

Thee first involved expanding the existin ng clinic. This included a detailed design that was deeveloped as a 3D model in Revit. This project began affter I blueprinted the origginal clinic, siince plans did d not exist. Passivee ventilation was a major objective as the t owner did d d.

The originaal 575 57 sq ft clinic was re-designed and expaanded into an n adjoining lo ot with h an addition nal 8023 sq ft..

The second s propo osal involved developing a new clinic deesign on a neearby site to the t old clinic,, which was to be ceded to o pending a po the Kausay K Wasi organization, o olitical electio on outcome. This was a much m larger sitte, where thee owner again n wisheed to use paassive ventilattion, except for the operaating room areas a that weere to have a small A/C system s with a gasoline generato or backup sysstem. This clin nic was desiggned with a stterile core an nd included amenities that typically aree h A tie e beam and tie t column fraaming structu ure (with CMU infill) was developed.

The plan, elevation, and section drawings, and many photo orealistic rend derings, weree geneerated from the t 3D Revitt model. Thee environmen ntal informattion for the proposals was derived, using u Climatee Conssultantand Eccotect, with th he required weather w file derived from a Russian Meteorological database. d

May 2010  Maritime e Museum/SSwordfish Caafé and Pedesstrian Walkw way (Spring 201 10 Studio/Ind dividual Desiggn - UM) - A retrofit plan was proposed forr the unused d Port Blvd. bridgge railroad liine in downtown Miamii. The unused railroad adjaceent to the port bridgee was converted into a publicc tree-lined walkway w and park, with a monumental and sculptu ural museum m/café d near the middle of theb bridge, (Swordfish Café) located to co ommemorate sport fishingg.

A con ncept along with w the site was developed as a 3D model, m using Revit R Architecture.

The conceptual c m massing tool (w within Revit) was used to create the sculptural form ms, as well as the bridgge geometry. The renderings were prroduced from m the Revit model m usingg 3ds Max.

The proposal wass modeled in n 3D, using Revit R Architeccture. A com mplete desiggn and set of drawingss were produced, includ ding architecctural, strucctural and HVAC. Renderin ngs were generated from the t 3D model. The lightiing and mateerials were caarefully choseen to control both artificiaal and natural light and d its colors.. The propo osal included d an upper floor aparttment, a 4000 sq ft reside ence with thee requisite green space, ass well as ground floor reetail space - on a 30ft-widee lot.
