Rate My Professor Jeffrey Collins

Collins specializes in design computation, parametric modeling, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and precast concrete applications in architecture. He authored the book Case Studies in Parametric Design: A Guide to Visual Scripting in Architecture published by Routledge in 2023. Notable publications include “The Use of Parametric Modeling to Enhance the Understanding of Concrete Formwork Structures” (2021 ASEE Annual Conference, co-authored with S. Adhikari, T. D. Nguyen, and G. Loreto), “Otavalo Textile Grammar: Patterns and Dialogues” (SIGraDi 2021, co-authored with M. A. Delgado Bailon), “Mapping Precast: Linking Global and Local Descriptions of Architectural Precast Concrete” (ASCE i3CE 2019), “Coordinating Atypical Architectural Precast Concrete Façades: Two Categories” (eCAADe SIGraDi 2019), and “Incorporating BIM into Architectural Precast Concrete Fabrication” (ISARC 2016). His research has been presented at international conferences including eCAADe, SIGraDi, and ASCE. Collins has received the AIA Atlanta Emerging Voices Citation and served as an NCARB Scholar in Professional Practice. He teaches a range of courses such as ARCH 1001 Architecture Studio I, ARCH 2004 Architecture Studio IV, ARCH 4225 Professional Practice II, ARCH 5016 Thesis Research, ARCH 5017 Thesis Studio, ARCH 1241 Design Communication I, ARCH 4490 Advanced Production: Precast, and ARCH 4895 Computational Methods. His mentorship supports student achievements, including awards from ARCC King and URCA funding for research presentations.
