Research
Concrete Structural Dynamics
Ronald's MS research focused on simulating structural dynamics in concrete members, developing advanced computational models to predict behavior under various developing advanced computational models to predict behavior under various load conditions and stress factors. This research has directly informed his architectural practice, allowing for more innovative and efficient structural solutions.
Using triangular finite element analysis, Ronald's simulations accurately predict how concrete structures respond to dynamic forces, enabling the design of safer, more resilient buildings that maintain aesthetic integrity.
Philosophy
Integration
Architecture and engineering should not be separate disciplines but integrated practices that inform and enhance each other.
Sustainability
Sustainable design is not an add-on but a fundamental principle that guides every decision from concept to completion.
Innovation
Pushing the boundaries of what's possible through research, experimentation, and application of new technologies.
Engineering Approach
Ronald's engineering background informs every aspect of his architectural practice. From initial concept sketches to final construction documents, structural integrity and mechanical efficiency are considered alongside aesthetic goals.
This integrated approach allows for innovative solutions that might otherwise be overlooked in a traditional design process. By understanding both the artistic and technical aspects of building, Ronald creates spaces that are not only beautiful but also structurally sound and functionally optimized.
