Team member(s): Hani KarimeModified by Hani Karime on April 12, 2026 Concept Less Wheels, More Walks is a parametric web-based urban simulation tool that explores how shading strategies can shift street space from cars to pedestrians. The idea started from living in Qatar, where the lack of shaded sidewalks discourages walking. Even short distances are often traveled by car. … Read more

From Parametric Design to Web-Based Configurator: A Computational Design Workflow This project presents the development of a web-based parametric configurator for a graph-driven freeform wall assembly system. The project integrates Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper, and Rhino Compute with a Vue.js frontend to create an interactive design tool that allows users to explore, customize, and export fabrication-ready … Read more

CarbonFrame is a web-based parametric tool for calculating the embodied carbon of structural frames. Life Cycle Analysis is becoming a requirement in the building industry. However, integrating it into everyday design workflows—especially in the early stages—remains a challenge. This is critical, because structural systems and material choices are often the largest contributors to a building’s … Read more

VAZA is an interactive web application developed for 3D-printing enthusiasts interested in creating unique vase designs. It functions as a parametric design tool that transforms simple user inputs into complex 3D geometries, making advanced form generation accessible through an intuitive interface. From Simple Inputs to Parametric Form Generation VAZA demonstrates how intricate shapes can emerge … Read more
