Hi, I’m Gregory Baluev, an Architect and Computational Designer based in Montréal, Canada, with a strong focus on urban design, GIS, and data analytics. I enjoy translating complex spatial data into actionable design decisions, using Python, 3D modeling, and GIS workflows to shape responsive and sustainable environments. I’ve led and contributed to web-based 3D visualization, parametric modeling, and design-optimization initiatives for architects and urban designers. I thrive on interdisciplinary collaboration with engineers, planners, and clients to deliver practical, elegant solutions that balance aesthetics with performance and feasibility.
