Space is
a living being.
Space changes; form responds.
VIHAN ARMANI RAD / ARCHITECTURE"Space is not a void to be filled; it is a living being."
As an architect with more than 15 years of experience, I work across architectural design, project coordination, construction supervision and BIM. My recent practice focuses on digital survey and Scan-to-BIM for existing buildings, from laser scanning and point-cloud processing to coordinated Revit models.
My approach brings design thinking and technical accuracy together. Across architecture, interiors and landscape, I am interested in how space responds to context, use and change — and how digital workflows can support that process from observation to construction.
