I engineer and fabricate large-scale architectural elements and kinetic sculptures, seamlessly blending traditional blacksmithing heritage with ultra-modern parametric design and structural integrity.
A 40-foot kinetic architectural installation for a commercial tech hub. Engineered 300 interlocking titanium scales driven by thermal expansion, allowing the building "skin" to open and close passively based on sun exposure. Reduced internal cooling load by 18%.

Led the emergency structural reinforcement of a 19th-century cathedral's iron roof trusses. Developed a temporary shoring system and executed high-strength, non-intrusive welds to stabilize the heritage structure without compromising its historical aesthetics.
View Process"Elias is a rare breed. He possesses the heavy-industry pragmatism of a structural engineer and the delicate touch of a master jeweler. His solutions for our complex kinetic roof project saved us weeks of delays."
"Working with Elias on the Urban Pulse monument was seamless. He not only interpreted our digital algorithmic designs perfectly into physical steel but optimized the code for better CNC tooling paths."
"His knowledge of metallurgy and patination is unmatched. The custom bronze finish he developed for our flagship retail store has withstood extreme coastal weather flawlessly for over three years."
