Tensile Structure
Reproduce parametrically Nature’s Behaviors Introduction This project delves into the parametric design of tensile structures, inspired by nature’s efficiency and adaptability. Through Grasshopper, we investigate factors like load, scale, segment count, multiplication, perforations, and vertical member adjustability to optimize tensile structures’ performance. We simulate structures under various loads and considering gravity. By fine-tuning parameters, such … Read more

CoHabitat
Fostering social interaction and ecological harmony Context Analysis Concept CoHabitat is a dynamic, multifunctional pavilion designed to foster social interaction and ecological harmony. It offers students and faculty a space to socialize and collaborate outside the traditional classroom setting, while also providing nesting grounds for local bird species and promoting biodiversity in the city. The … Read more
SMOKE
SMOKE is a simple exploration of a plume of smoke rising from a camp fire. The project explores thermal turbulence and swarm behavior, with forces from mixing air acting on the particles found in smoke, dispersing them into the air. Deconstructing Natural Behavior: Smoke – Swarm Behavior Smoke is comprised of a collection of tiny … Read more
Golden Gusts
What is the Golden Ratio? The Golden Ratio is a relationship between two numbers that are next to each other in the Fibonacci sequence. When you divide the larger one by the smaller one, the answer is something close to Phi. The further you go along the Fibonacci Sequence, the closer the answers get to … Read more
