If you are in the construction or architecture industry I probably don't have to introduce you to this company but if you are not here comes a very brief presentation that probably doesn't do them justice:

Buro Happold does engineering consultance, design, planning, project management, and consulting services for buildings, infrastructure and the environment. They have been involved in so many famous projects it's almost impossible not to have seen something they have worked on. Read more on their own page: BuroHappold.com

The main project that I worked on was the new Everton Stadium. Which has construction has been approved(BBC article).

What I did on the project:

I worked on the parametric design scripts for the whole structural roof system in Grasshopper.

First let me explain what the Buildings and Habitats object Model or BHoM for short is. Basically its a project by Buro Happold that allows for easier and quicker communication between all the different software used by the company. This is done by making an "universal language" that is the BHoM. So through BHoM one can for example run an simulation in one program and then send those reults to another program in which the results are analyzed and/or visualized.

What I did on for BHoM:

I helped develop tools for: easier/automatic modelling of structural systems, interoperability testing, geometry handeling and table handeling.

I worked very little on this project but I thought I should include it since it's something to show and since the stadium is opening in may 2021. Here you can see a light show on the stadium.

What I did on the project:

I got data on how the stands of the stadium behaved under earthquakes and analyzed it using Grasshopper (displacement studies).

The West End Stadium website.

What I did in grasshopper:

• Parametric models of large complex structural roof systems(mostly for stadiums)

• Parametric conceptual design models which later could lay the foundation for a structural model

• Analysis of geometry and test results

• Algorithms for testing BHoM stuff(mostly related to interoperability)

• Component design (I made a lot of custom components in c# and I also made larger clusters that I found usefull into components)

• Quick analysis of structural performance using Karamba

• Mesh manipulation

• Algorithms for mapping

These are the secret projects I worked on that I am not allowed to talk about:

• Just kidding, I obviously can't talk about them.

• While all deception requires secrecy not all secrecy is meant to deceive.
