Cooper Copetas I am a Parisian, Graduate of Architecture & Urban Design Engineering from the University of Miami. Having travelled the world, my opinions on architectural culture are diverse. I have design experience working with both large and small firms, such as DpZ here in Miami & at Ateliers Jean Nouvel in France. As a result, I enjoy experimenting with numerous design methodologies. The academic nature of my work varies with every project. Recently, my push has been in smart cities & tech innovation, and the integration of these principles in Urban Design. In each new project, I implement new technologies to render my work. I am currently a leading designer in the redevelopment of Downtown Miami. Although 3d softwares play a large role in research & development, nothing will stop me from scribbling my project to completion on a napkin.
