One World Trade Center

3,500,00 SF, 104 story iconic commercial + mixed use high-rise located at the northern end of the Ground Zero site.  

The first project I was involved in out of college.  An unforgettable, unique experience working with the cream of the crop team of architects, engineers and consultants on an extremely high profile, controversial building.  I was a member of the technical team at SOM coordinating with consultants and producing the construction documents for both the initial twisting tower version and its currently built obelisk design.  WTC One was the first project SOM utilized Revit on.  At that time, Revit was at its beta stages and I worked directly with Autodesk programmers and digital design management to help refine the program for its later releases.  I can safely say I was present for the birth of BIM.
