Aime Rabadan

Aime Rabadan is one of two recent UW-Milwaukee graduates who created a 3D model showcasing the School of Architecture & Urban Planning’s impact on Milwaukee’s built environment. The 8-by-12-foot model of downtown Milwaukee is on display in the advising office of the Architecture & Urban Planning Building. Rabadan and fellow graduate Anika Gingle began the project in fall 2023 with funding from a Support for Undergraduate Research Fellows grant. Over the next two years, each dedicated more than 500 hours to studying city maps and photographs, creating detailed digital models of individual buildings and printing each structure using a 3D printer. The completed model features nearly 400 buildings. Following graduation, Rabadan was hired as an architectural designer at Dan Beyer Architects.
