Octatube designs, develops and constructs complex architectural structures, with an emphasis on advanced applications of glass and steel.

Engineering unique and innovative steel-glass structures in 2D (Autocad) as well as 3D (Tekla Structures, Rhinoceros). This also includes several organisational tasks assisting the production- and mounting process. Next to these main tasks, I am taking a key role in guiding architectural designs to feasible technical concepts. Specific expertise has been gained on realizing (double) curved designs.

Every activity related to logistics such as (un)loading the stocks, communication with the shop assistants and direct contact with the customers.

Involved in the organisation of the BSc3 design project (urban redevelopment of the DSM-Gist area, Delft). The most important focus lied on improvement of the integration between the courses, stimulating unification of the design project.

The internship offered involvement in various projects in different stages of the design- and building process.As a special assignment for the internship, software has been developed with which architects and engineers can gain an insight into consequences of design choices regarding building regulations (fysical calculations, measurements and fire safety). The software has been used in temporary design stages.

Practical experience on the building site (realisation phase) and at the office (preparation phase and calculation).
