Nicholas Pisca received his BSAS from UW-Milwaukee SARUP in 2003 and his MArch from SCIarc in 2006. He had focused his undergraduate studies on mathematics, architecture, and structural engineering, and his graduate academic research on 4D computational design in architectural, web, cinema and other design environments. Computationally, his algorithmic focus consisted primarily of a combination of emergent and evolutionary techniques in Rhinoscript, ActionScript and Maya MEL. He has conducted seminars and workshops at SCIarc, UCSB-MAT, OSU KSA, UW-Seattle, RMIT and various corporate firms. The premiere architectural rationalization services firm Gehry Technologies hired Pisca in 2005 and he currently holds the position of Senior Automation Consultant. He developed and instructed automation for advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the parametric programs Digital Project and CATIA, and is the editor of the online resource GTWiki. In 2008, Pisca accepted the position of Lecturer at the UCSB-MAT Graduate Department. In 2009, Pisca started the online meta scripting resource 0001d BLAST, found at http://www.nickpisca.com/BLAST ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ NOTE: The "Jake Pisca" Calendar does not contain any computational, architectural, or BIM projects.
