– Led a team to the winning proposal for a mixed-use skyscraper which focused on an environmentally friendly facade design that increased thermal comfort and productivity. An exploration into various design solutions were carried out independently through multi-objective analysis tools that simultaneously studied solar radiation levels, insolation and wind speeds in and around the building.
