Jason Yusupov | 2025
About
Greetings! My name is Jason Yusupov and I currently reside in Brooklyn, NY. I graduated from the New York City College of Technology with a Bachelor of Tech Degree in Architecture. I began my career working at a small firm called Bowerbird, where I specialized in creating interior and exterior 3D renders. From there, I transitioned to a larger firm called Urbahn Architects, where I worked on various projects to further develop my skills in AutoCAD. I am also pursuing a Master's degree in Architecture at Boston Architecture College, and I will be starting my second year soon.
Anchor House
I was given a project with a strict deadline, which required me to create five important specifications for my project manager's client presentation. My task was to carefully draft detailed plans for the flooring and ceiling construction, ensuring that the contractors fully understood the architect's specifications and could visualize the elements that needed to be removed. Working on this project provided me with valuable insights into the construction process, deepened my understanding of the project's scale, and familiarized me with the crucial materials required for its successful execution.
Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center
Our company has recently initiated partnerships with several governmental organizations, such as NYC Health + Hospitals. During my time working at this specific hospital, I was given the task of conducting a thorough evaluation of the lighting system. Moreover, I was entrusted with the responsibility of identifying the best location for a large ladder and determining the exact requirements for installing a 24"x36" opening. This experience provided me with invaluable knowledge in creating precise designs, becoming acquainted with different construction materials, and recognizing the importance of precise measurements.
PS144Q
I had been given the task of reviewing documents for an architect who is currently supervising a construction project. In this position, I carefully identified areas that needed improvements in terms of brick, terra cotta, or steel elements. To provide precise instructions, I included elaborate drawings that illustrated the specific changes and additions required for the project. Furthermore, I made sure to thoroughly document all the necessary upgrades and replacements in advance. This experience allowed me to develop efficient work methods that prioritize prompt and timely execution, while also enhancing my understanding of the broader principles and complexities within the construction industry.
3280 Broadway (Construction Phase)
After completing the NASH Columbia University Bulletin 11 markups, the project progressed into the construction phase. As part of a site visit led by the project manager, various errors were discovered. I was then assigned the responsibility of rectifying these issues, incorporating the project manager's feedback and survey results. This valuable experience significantly contributed to the enhancement of my drafting skills, the deepening of my architectural knowledge, and the improvement of my time management abilities. It provided an excellent opportunity for me to further develop my expertise in resolving on-site discrepancies and ensuring the smooth and precise progression of the project.
60 E135th Street
I was tasked with assisting in the research and evaluation of the Lincoln Houses Roof Repair project, with a specific focus on the roof parameters and bulkheads. Although this project had started before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was put on hold by the NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) due to financial limitations. However, in March 2022, the NYCHA recommenced the repair work on the roof and bulkheads. Upon the project's resumption, we encountered several changes at the site caused by existing damages. Upon further investigation, it became evident that the bulkheads had not been accurately surveyed in previous assessments. To address this issue, we conducted a thorough roof mapping exercise, diligently examining site notes and referring back to the original architectural plans. This allowed us to precisely identify the positions of the bulkheads and rectify any inconsistencies.
3280 Broadway
While working in DCAS, I was assigned a time-sensitive task involving the NASH Building Renovation project at Columbia University. As part of my surveying responsibilities, I was entrusted with making minor adjustments to the ongoing project. The pressure was palpable as I strived to complete all markups and floor plans within the constraints of the tight deadline. This endeavor provided me with valuable insights into the realm of efficient time management, comprehension of construction documents, and operating effectively under demanding circumstances. It served as a pivotal learning experience, introducing me to the challenges and rewards of working within the confines of limited timeframes in a professional environment.
55 Water Street
After becoming a part of Urbahn Architects, I was designated to the DCAS division, where our primary goal was to collaborate with them on enhancing their furniture floor plans to optimize inventory management. This particular project allowed me to refine my skills in surveying a wide range of spaces, including workstations, cabinets, shelves, tables, and previously undocumented areas. Additionally, I honed my proficiency in navigating AutoCAD, enabling me to generate floor plans more efficiently while gaining valuable expertise in drafting.
Upstate House
As part of my professional development within the firm, I was given the opportunity to work on a project that aims to deepen my understanding of mid-century architecture design. The project involves designing the Upstate House, which will serve as a summer home for a client who is a writer. In their brief, the client expressed their desire for a design that fosters a productive and open atmosphere, conducive to their work-related activities.
174 Degraw Street
During my initial Bowerbird project, I undertook the creation of a basement-level Floor Plan. The objective entailed designing interior and exterior spaces while incorporating various materials and furniture elements. Throughout the project, I acquired proficiency in employing diverse rendering software to showcase 360-degree views and produce client-specific renders.
