Working from scratch, following simplicity

Portfolio

List of projects performed, with explanatory images grouped in galleries and subdivided by type of technical reports. I also highlighted my self-made programs, written to facilitate the dimensioning and the calculation of some parts of them.

Hydraulics^

Written in accordance with the provisions of the local governments and following best practices in literature.

They cover various fields of hydraulics: storm sewers, detention basins and water supplies.

 

Illustratives and Roads^

Drafted in order to synthesize and to better represent the design choices made​​.

Realized with: CAD software (using dynamic blocks and tables, paper model with custom printing styles), office suite (proprietary or open source) and software for vector and raster graphics.
