Portrait of Omar Mowafi

Architecture, performance and software.

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

I am currently extending this work through Python, structured data workflows and interactive browser-based interfaces.

Fields of practice.

01 · DATA & WEB

Python · JSON · Three.js / WebGL

Custom data pipelines and interactive browser interfaces for simulation results.

02 · PARAMETRIC

Grasshopper · Rhino · Revit

Parametric modelling, geometry workflows and design-tool development.

03 · PERFORMANCE

ClimateStudio · Ladybug Tools · SimScale

Daylight, thermal comfort, operational carbon and environmental performance studies.

04 · COMMUNICATION

Teaching · Documentation · Visualization

Technical masterclasses, workflow documentation and visual explanation of analytical results.

Speaking across borders.

Being able to work in Arabic, English, German and Spanish, together with professional experience across five countries, has shaped a cross-cultural approach to communication and collaboration. It helps me move comfortably between design, technical analysis and multidisciplinary teams.

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.
