Alex Xie Architectural Blueprint Portrait
01 / DISCIPLINE

Engineering & Architecture

I'm trying to specialize in the synthesis of structural integrity, architectural beauty, and computational automation. My work revolves around quality of life scripts in Revit & Dynamo, structural systems, and building energy modelling.

Whether calculating material properties, load demands or developing algorithms to speed up work, I focus on breaking things down to easier manageable tasks.

02 / OUTSIDE WORK

Life, Projects & Relaxing

Outside of studio work, you'll find me outside playing frisbee, upgrading my tech, playing games, catching up on shows and movies, and tinkering with DIY projects.

I enjoy indie games, meeting up with my friends, and the quiet peace of nighttime. I'll probably be up late working on something random or exploring somehting new.
