Glassman\u0027s background in architecture and high-performance design allows him to devise solutions that integrate the performative aspects of the building with inspiring architectural design. He has worked on various projects around the world, each requiring a unique response to the diverse set of climatic, site, and programmatic conditions.

Today, powerful software is applied to increase the iterations of a building\u2019s design and to imagine geometrically complex \u2013 yet buildable \u2013 structures. When integral to the design process, the next generation of computational tools can also be used to achieve wholistic solutions that achieve architects\u2019 aesthetic goals, maximize performance for owners and occupiers, enhance sustainability, and reduce carbon footprint.
