scales, including small- to large-scale buildings, mixed-use
developments, and urban-scale planning projects, including concept
design, schematic design, design development, construction
documentation, and construction administration; conduct feasibility
studies, site analysis, programming, and master planning for complex
urban-scale developments, integrating zoning regulations, sustainability
strategies, and community needs into cohesive design solutions; lead
design development by translating conceptual ideas into architectural
plans, ensuring aesthetic, functional, and technical excellence by
project goals, client expectations, and industry best practices;
research, analyze, and apply local, national, and international building
codes, zoning laws, accessibility guidelines, and sustainability
standards including LEED and WELL to ensure regulatory compliance and
sustainable design implementation; produce and refine design
presentations through a combination of freehand sketches, physical
models, and digital renderings using industry-standard software,
including Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, Enscape, D5, 3D Studio MAX, SketchUp,
Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign; set up and manage VR architectural
visualization environments for design presentations and in-house design
