About your tutor
I hold a Bachelor of Architecture degree from CEPT University, where he was shortlisted for the best design thesis award, and a postgraduate degree from Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, where I explored the intersection between technology and the built environment. I am proficient in AEC software such as Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCAD, Revit, and Unreal Engine, and has a keen interest in the creative and sustainable design choices in architecture. I am motivated by the challenge of integrating the digital realm with the physical world, and the potential of technology to transform the built environment.

Class overview
My teaching strategies are totally based on the requirements of the students. As the learning requirements of each student are different. Generally, I explain each and every concept in the most simplified way I can, and I am also keen on listening to the students doubts and providing clarifications to them. I try to keep my students as engaged in the class discussions as I can. I also assist them with their assignments, homework, and test preparation.

Student and Tutor worked on advanced Revit family modification and detailing. They focused on creating an adjustable siding panel family, loading it into a project, and accurately placing and annotating it within a detail view. The session concluded with a plan to continue meeting next Saturday, potentially an hour earlier.

The Tutor and Student reviewed advanced 3D modeling techniques in Rhino, focusing on creating detailed architectural elements like door frames, bay windows, and walls. They practiced using commands such as "SweepOne," "Blocks," "Boolean Difference," "Scale," and "CPlane," and discussed efficient workflows for modeling, including working with separate architectural and structural models. The session concluded with guidance on generating construction details and diagrams.
