Omar Mowafi

Architecture, performance and software.

Omar Mowafi is an architect and building performance analyst working between computational design, building simulation and data. His work focuses on turning complex environmental studies into tools and results that can be used during design.

His practice is currently being extended through Python, structured data workflows and interactive browser-based interfaces.

Fields of practice.

01 · DATA & WEB

Python · Data Analysis · Machine Learning · Web

Certificate training in data analysis, data science and machine learning, applied through custom pipelines and interactive browser interfaces.

02 · PARAMETRIC

Grasshopper · Rhino · Revit

Parametric modelling, geometry workflows and design-tool development.

03 · PERFORMANCE

In their words.

“Omar was a strong asset to our department. He is not only able to overcome technical challenges, but he is also able to structure an analytical exercise so that it is useful within a design process.”
“His work results were consistently of outstanding quality, even under changing requirements and very difficult conditions.”Translated from German.
“Particularly noteworthy are his interest in parametric methods and his willingness to familiarise himself with a wide range of subject areas.”Translated from German.
