Envisioning a self-sustained colony on Mars, our primary focus is on revolutionizing transportation within the red planet. Sustainability is our guiding principle as we design an efficient transportation system that seamlessly connects habitats across various clusters. Incorporating Tensegrity moving parts, Inflatable lightweight structures, and a Hexagonal Grid framework, our approach embraces a Kit-Of-Part methodology. Following … Read more
The Pains of Being a Computational Designer and Having Landscape Design Colleagues Planter came about as a response to my landscape architect colleagues. Seeing them working bidimensionally and having a 3D model typically disassociated from those 2D drawings pains me. In a world of data, why not quantify the consequences of plant choices in a … Read more
Project Concept Aggreculture is a Mars colony architectural project focused on food production. The design concept is inspired by the way plant roots grow to find necessary nutrients within soil aggregate. Our project is unique in that it occupies a speculative Martian lava tube. By building in a lava tube, we use existing natural resources … Read more
Concept The purpose of the app was to help with viewing and researching information on different types of amenities (like parks, playgrounds, etc.) near selected locations, based on the available OSM data. It’s based on Grasshopper script that is sent to Rhino Compute and visualized on the web using three.js. Grasshopper base The script is … Read more
Ceramic Surface Ceramic Surface is an application to customize ceramic tiling patterns from a geometry assigned by the client for decorative and acoustic purposes. In evidence the application CerSuft home page. The tiling pattern is regulated by a Grasshopper script. The geometry uploaded by the client (a Rhino file “.3dm”) can be a rectangle or … Read more
We have a metacrisis of over consumption that is driving us toward the precipice of extinction. Fuelled by relentless advertising and capitalism’s need for endless growth, humanity is literally devouring the planet. Consumers click to buy for next day delivery from the other side of the world, the environmental and social impacts are safely hidden … Read more
Concept In this custom webapp, we seriously (and jokingly) consider and design for the non-human. While walking my dog, Lumen, and thinking about this project, I noticed how he always picks up a stick and brings it home. This brings him happiness and reason to behave while on our walks. In the spirit of thinking … Read more
Creating a streamlined pipeline to visualize and extrapolate financial data enabling a correlation with spatial geo-specific information. The World and all countries alike have been increasingly more susceptible to events and developments in the geo-political theatre. It is not surprising that the world’s top two economic and military superpowers play a pivotal role in this … Read more
Introduction The core concept behind EcoFrame is to empower those interested in purchasing a pergola to design it themselves directly on the web. This tool not only simplifies the design process but also provides immediate feedback on important details like pricing. Tutorial STEP 1: The first step is to set the basic dimensions of your … Read more
Redefining Facade Design Upload your building volume and choose from: Quad Panel, Hexagonal, Triangular and Diagonal You can also use the sliders to increase or decrease the pattern division on the facade, or even create new pattern types such as the vertical or horizontal strips using the quad panels in the dropdown menu Use the … Read more
Abstract Every Project has their own requirement and every time Contractors and Consultants busy and willing to get the project and due to tight schedule for submission and they required accurate information for Major Quantities on initial stage for bidding purpose, Which used as base and as accurate as they really willing execute project with … Read more
Energy Phenomena In the machine room model, Convection serves as the primary mechanism for transferring heat from the hot plate to the tubes containing thermochromic fluids. This convective process affects the temperature of the thermochromic liquid within the tubes, which in turn changes the chroma i.e, color intensity of the room, thereby influencing the circadian … Read more
One of the best methods to enhance the atmosphere of our living spaces is plantation. However, indoor plantation requires some attention. One major key point that we are focusing in our app is the amount of light, and the type of light that the space receives. When we examine our spaces with this perspective, knowing … Read more
At the project media class, we were introduced to the various ways of presenting any project by means of different types of storytelling. We were shown that videomaking alone offers countless pathways to telling one’s story. To name just a few, this may be done by documenting the whole design process by videoing it, by … Read more
In the realm of urban design, understanding movement behaviors is paramount for creating efficient and people-centric city layouts.
