CAD Architecture
CAD Architecture
CAD Architecture is a competition within the Technology Student Association in which students are challenged to develop a solution to an architectural prompt in a limited amount of time, and deliver a series of architectural drawings. I have competed in this event three times, and my projects are shown below.
Summer 2025
Summer 2025
This was my fourth attempt at the competition, at the TSA National Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
Given the situation of an existing property with a home and a detached workshop, students were challenged to convert the property into a rental property.
My submission, made in 3.5 hours, proposes keeping the initial structure, converting the detached workshop into an office, and a ranch-style main house that separates open and private spaces.
With this project, I scored 9th place among 40 students at the National Conference.

This was my third attempt at the competition, at the PA TSA States Conference in Seven Springs, PA. I used Autodesk Revit.
The prompt was to design a "duplex" on a given property with an existing single family home. There were some specifications as to how many bedrooms, bathrooms, etc... there should be.
This was my submission, made in 3.5 hours. It proposes to expand the existing structure rather than replace it, creating two single-level homes stacked on top of one another.
I scored 2rd place (out of ~40) at the Pennsylvania state conference.

This was my second attempt at the competition, and I used Autodesk Revit.
The prompt was to design a "tiny house" that was under some maximum square footage, and there were some specifications as to how many bedrooms, bathrooms, etc... there should be.
This was my submission, made in 2 hours, which proposes a single level open floorplan layout.
I scored 3rd place (out of 6) at the regional conference.
Winter 2024
Winter 2024
This was my first attempt at the competition, and I did not have any experience with Autodesk Revit, so I competed using a 2D vector graphics software. In an architecture competition. I would not recommend it.
The prompt was to design a row house, and there were some specifications as to how many bedrooms, bathrooms, etc... and what the minumum and maximum square footage must be.
This was my submission, made in 2 hours, which scored 4th place (out of 7).
Powering Pittsburgh
Powering Pittsburgh
Powering Pittsburgh was a competition I competed in for two years. In the competition, students are challenged to design sustainable solutions for the City of Pittsburgh regarding energy, urban architecture, transportation, and housing.
The deliverables were a 10 minute presentation on our solution, and a physical representation of our solution.
After competing in this project twice, we scored one first and one second place, totaling $3500 in total prize money, which was given to Fox Chapel's STEM education resources.
