Mr. Hassab is an architectural designer, and specialist in Digital Fabrication & Computational Design, with over 6 years’ experience in Computational design and digital fabrication. He started working with RHINO3D in 2009 (around 9 years ago), when the well-known architect Zaha Hadid was leading the design of the Citadel Capital Headquarter project in Egypt, and he was involved in the project as an intern in ECG (Engineering Consultant Group). During the last four years, Mr. Hassab has been working as a research assistant in the AUC (American University in Cairo) fabrication lab, developing techniques for fabricating double curved surfaces, which was reflected in his master thesis research. His research included the development of a 3D Clay Extruder, adjustable mold, double curved acrylic surface, and 4 plugins on grasshopper for data extraction for fabrication of the double curved transparent surfaces, metal, wooden, or 3D printed using clay. Being a Lecturer assistant at the American university in Cairo (teaching ARCH 473, computational design and fabrication workshop), he led the fabrication of around five pavilions, which were lately requested by the AIA validation of the department as an excellent achievement. In the meanwhile, Mr. Hassab is holding several Rhino3D, Grasshopper, and T-spline workshops in Egypt. On the industry side, Mr. Hassab works for ECG in Egypt as a senior architectural designer. In ECG, he was involved in the design of many mega-projects in the middle east.
