Just like any design phase of an architecture project, seeing all of our hard work come together in a complete set of graphics makes all of our trials and tribulations worthwhile. Check out our final design proposal for renovating One Seneca Tower here!

How do architects take a simple computer model, generate basic graphics, and turn it into a beautiful rendering that depicts the space and composition of materials? Learn more about my process of taking a Revit (BIM) model of One Seneca Tower in Buffalo, NY and develop realistic renderings of the project in this post.

Learn more about my process of determining perspectives for architectural renders in this post where I use my current project, One Seneca Tower in Buffalo, NY.

There’s always an overwhelming feeling of excitement and happiness that every Architect has when they finish any digital model. This week, my friends and I finally completed our Revit model of project 3x30 One Seneca Tower! Check out some exterior views of our model in this very brief post.

This week we focused on refining our schematic design for One Seneca Tower's boutique clothing stores, brainstormed several rain screen systems for the façade of both the tower and adjacent building, and refined the museum layout to include secure areas. Learn more in this post.

As my team and I continue designing a theoretical renovation of One Seneca Tower in Buffalo, NY, we focus on coming up with a design for the mix use programs on the lower level of the building. We discuss current trends in fashion retail and decide to design an experience for shoppers. Learn more in this post.

What happens after a conceptual architecture project is complete? It’s time to gather all the drawings, graphics, photographs, and final files into one folder to be used in the future. Check out the final set of images from the NYC Micro Dwellings project in this post.

How do architects take photographs of their project’s site and combine it with their 3D models to create a realistic visual to present to their clients? Learn more in this post where I take the photographs for the NYC Micro Dwellings from last week and combine it with 3D renderings of the project to create a visual to present to clients.

How do architects decide on the materials that will be used in their projects and visualize it to share with clients? Learn more about how the NYC Micro Dwellings’ exterior materials were selected and see some of the initial photographs that will be used to visualize the building within its site context in this post.

When architects determine the best building form and layout of a project, their next step is to refine it to work with the various constraints of the built environment; codes, systems, structure, and so on. Check out the development of the NYC Micro Dwelling’s design in this post.

How do architects take a concept and turn it into a potential building form, layout, and comprehensive project? Learn more about the process in this post where I share the initial schematic design of the NYC Micro Dwelling project.

Let’s get into the process of designing architecture starting with researching precedents for the NYC Micro Dwelling project. Follow this project to see how an architect takes an idea and turns it into something that can be built.

Have you ever wondered how the price of renting and owning property in New York City reached the point where it’s unattainable for a family with an average household income? Here’s a brief history of how the price of living grew over a century along with an idea for how we can continue providing adequate and healthy living environments for New Yorkers.
