Lúcio has worked for Zaha Hadid Architects on the Zaragoza Bridge Pavilion for the 2008 World Expo from schematic design to the production of construction drawings. He was in charge of rationalizing the 3d geometry and overall design development of the bridge, where he worked closely with Arup London and Spanish steel fabricators, developing the primary structure and substructure to produce a repetitive system of panelization for the curved façade. Lúcio has worked for Farjadi Architects & is currently at SOM NY.
His blog has some wonderful building and design projects, very inspiring.

I would say the same about NYC.
I just wonder why NYC dose not set some kind of standards. So many new residential towers being build across the city. They are just boxes that fill the lot to take up the most square feet so the developers can take in the most money. There is almost no positive architectural qualities of 95% of the structures. To me it looks like the city is just destroying it’s architectural past and quickly building a new architectural mediocrity.
