AEC Model Context Protocol (MCP) Bridge
Architected a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers autonomous AI agents to query, inspect, and mutate live Revit building information models. Agents can interpret natural-language design briefs, parse spatial topologies, verify code compliance, and execute parametric modifications with transactional safety.

Custom routines engineered to enforce BIM Execution Plans, eliminate repetitive drafting tasks, and coordinate complex MEP/Structural intersections.
BEP Governance & Standards
Enforces ISO 19650 naming conventions, family validation, and model health diagnostics.
AEC Model Context Protocol (MCP) in Action
Test how Christopher's custom MCP server translates architectural prompts into direct Revit API transactions and verified drawing sets.
Architectural Intent / Prompt
Analyze Scripps Mercy Level 07 ICU floor plate for seismic beam clearance clashes with HVAC ducts.
Model Context Protocol Execution
bim_spatial_intersection(target='Structure vs MEP_HVAC', tolerance='25mm')
Direct API Execution & Clash Query
[MCP] Query executed in 142ms. 4 hard clashes found at Shear Wall 4B. Calculating alternate duct run -150mm offset.
Audit Trail & Sheet Update
Clashes automatically resolved in Revit central model. BCF report #CR-2026-089 generated.
LinkedIn 3D Animations & Video Walkthroughs
Real 3D animation videos, unbroken architectural cinematography benchmarks, agentic modeling tests, and industrial design studies posted directly to LinkedIn.
Agentic 3D Modelling: Calatrava's UAE Pavilion (LLM to Rhino & Grasshopper)
Been experimenting with agentic modelling — driving geometry straight from an LLM into Rhino and Grasshopper. First test: Calatrava's UAE Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. With minimal input from me, it got more than 50% of the way to a workable concept. Not finished, not buildable, but a lot closer than I expected at this stage. More tests coming.
Key Insights Demonstrated:
- Direct parametric geometry generation from an LLM into Rhino & Grasshopper
- Benchmark test on Santiago Calatrava's kinetic UAE Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai
- 50%+ autonomous completion towards a workable geometric concept
Architectural Video Benchmark: Unbroken 30s Interior/Exterior Sequence
Testing video models against a single architectural brief to see where they actually break. One house, one unbroken camera move — outside, through the glass, into the interior, then back out into the night. 30 seconds, no cuts. Punishes perspective discipline, material consistency, and lighting continuity across shots. Seedance 2.5 came out ahead.
Key Insights Demonstrated:
- Brutal 30-second continuous camera flight with zero cuts
- Perspective discipline, material consistency & day-to-night lighting continuity
- Seedance 2.5 benchmark test for architectural cinematography
Cinematic Architectural Visualization: Transforming Concepts with Sora, Kling & Veo
AI is revolutionizing architectural visualization. Tools like Midjourney and FLux enable photorealistic images of our designs, offering a glimpse into how spaces might look once built. For motion and storytelling, AI video creation tools such as Sora, Kling, and Veo transform static concepts into dynamic, immersive videos for presentations and real-world context.
Key Insights Demonstrated:
- Photorealistic spatial concept generation with Midjourney & Flux diffusion models
- Immersive dynamic video storytelling utilizing Sora, Kling, and Veo
- Rapid visual design iterations and lifelike spatial evaluation prior to construction
Creative Coding & Interactive Media: p5.js & Web Video (Inspiration by Tim Fu)
Exploring creative coding using p5.js alongside modern web technologies. Leveraging AI-assisted coding to learn and build interactive visuals, JavaScript application logic, HTML & CSS structure, and HTML5 Video & p5.MediaElement for seamless media integration. Special thanks to Tim Fu for the inspiration behind this journey.
Key Insights Demonstrated:
- Interactive algorithmic visuals generated with p5.js and JavaScript
- HTML5 Video and p5.MediaElement seamless media integration
- Leveraging AI assistance to bridge architectural design and creative coding
Loop Lounge Chair: Ergonomic Shell & Monolithic Flowing Timber
Comfort, engineered with intention. The Loop Lounge Chair is designed around an ergonomic shell that delivers a supportive, cocoon-like experience. The structure follows a single, flowing line of wood, creating a seamless and stable base. It's a functional sculpture for modern living and working spaces.
Key Insights Demonstrated:
- Ergonomic supportive shell engineered for a cocoon-like user experience
- Structure following a single, continuous flowing line of crafted wood
- Functional sculpture balancing ergonomics with minimalist aesthetics
Layered Pendant Light: Soft Distributed Illumination for Interiors
Engineered for soft, distributed illumination. This pendant is a collection of individual light-emitting planes. The layered arrangement provides warm light from multiple sources, minimizing harsh shadows. A functional sculpture for both residential and commercial interiors.
Key Insights Demonstrated:
- Collection of individual light-emitting geometric planes
- Layered multi-source configuration engineered to eliminate harsh shadows
- Sculptural architectural lighting for residential and commercial environments
