Three architectural visualisations: a stacked tower, a curved white pavilion and a ribbed high-rise at night

Architect and BIM specialist, turning ideas into buildable models.

Architecture that bends to data.

Bending design and technology together, from the first sketch to the last detail on site.

Architectural design

Form that answers to its site, its people and its purpose.

Curved white pavilion at dusk on a wide plaza
Tower of stacked, rotated glass volumes
Building with a wavy white louvre facade over a curved glazed base
Twin glass towers wrapped in a diagrid, set in a park
Close-up of a copper-coloured lattice facade meeting a glazed arch
White villa among olive trees at sunset
White site model of low courtyard buildings with two pools

BIM modelling & documentation

A model you can build from, down to the last detail.

Elevation drawing with gridlines and levels against trees
Sectional 3D view of a three-storey house with a spiral stair and level markers

BIM
coordination

Clashes solved on screen, not on site, before they cost time and money.

Computational design & AI

Write the rules, let the form follow, and explore more options than any hand could draw.

Parametric envelope design: a timber-toned lattice facade
Design optimisation study comparing structural options
Generative study: testing structural options side by side.
Kinetic facade: louvre positions across the day.
One adaptive panel, rotating on its frame.

Sun altitude 66° · louvres 62% closed

Move the sun and watch the louvres respond. A simplified sketch of the principle.

Freeform surface study: one continuous parametric shell.

Urban design & masterplanning

Thinking beyond the plot line, at the scale of streets and neighbourhoods.

BIM tool development

When the workflow doesn't exist, build it.

From concept model to CLT panels.

My own BIM tool, in development.

I design.

I'm Mouadh, an architect and BIM specialist who moves between the concept, the model and the site. BENDX is where I share that work: Bending Design & Technology.

Calligraphy and architecture: geometry seen differently

When not designing buildings, I explore calligraphy and visual arts, turning letters into form, space and light.

Black calligraphic forms suspended in a red room
Calligraphic sculpture framed by a glowing square in a white corridor
Gold calligraphic ribbons across a terracotta wall
