Ahmad joins SWBR as member of technology group
Rochester, NY Malcolm Ahmad has joined SWBR as a support services technician to its technology group.
Ahmad, a former SWBR intern, assists the team with laser scanning and building technology services, oversees the archive database, and supports studios with Revit modeling and detailing for projects. He credits his talent for math and geometry for drawing him to a career in architecture.
When asked what excites him about the future of architecture, Ahmad said, “New technology and innovation is making the design field more accessible each day. It’s not necessarily a requirement that people be good at math and drawing to be a designer, so much as having access to digital aids to convey an idea.”
