JOB LOCATION: Chicago, IL
POSITION: Architectural Designer
POSITION: Design initial concepts ideas for projects using principles of design that are important for creating aesthetically pleasing and functional buildings; provide physical and digital model making, rendering and detailing using both traditional and digital tools such as computer aided design and building information technology; use advance modelling tools such as DiRoots, Pyrevit and Revizto to run data with in different components of model and generate complex schedules to be used in construction providing precise specifications, quantities and dimensions essential to both the design and construction phases. The data in schedule supports comprehensive optimization and alignment of project parameters, ensuring that all design intricacies are meticulously accounted for in the construction process; learn ethics, code of conduct, contracts and legal issues to prepare for aspects of architecture and licensure; generate a 3D model building with the use of information parameters imported from building components to derive different properties such as building life cycle and cost estimation; use advanced rendering software such as Lumion and Enscape to import the model and create high-quality visualizations, including realistic renderings and immersive walkthroughs, to effectively communicate design concepts to clients and stakeholders; conduct BIM coordination across multiple disciplines by utilizing a shared cloud-based model, incorporating precise geographical coordinates, and overseeing the management of drawing sheets. This approach ensures comprehensive integration and synchronization of design elements across various fields; develop
communication skills for working with consultants, contractors and clients as well as collaborating with colleagues on architecture design projects; use building design strategies and green practices to improve the performance of a building and make it more efficient and better for the environment by using less energy and building with sustainable materials; ensure that design is in accordance with building codes and zoning regulations; and understand and apply technical aspects of building systems, including structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (M.E.P.) as well as traditional and latest construction methods.
