What does ultrapractical mean to you? Ultrapractical means embracing and integrating digital technologies within architectural design, with the desire to achieve improved and more efficient outcomes. At Orms, I'm excited to contribute to a practice that values both innovative design and practical delivery, using digital tools to enhance collaboration and resolve challenges before they reach the construction site. In my day-to-day role, I manage clash detection processes, oversee the implementation of BIM, and support teams to ensure compliance with project-specific requirements, industry standards, and best practices.
