Another fun architecure project I did at grad school. Having come to the program from economics and finance, I wasn't as good at drawing and model-building as the other students. But everyone was equally novice at computational design tools. So rather than trying to compete on traditional methods, I decided to use one of the shorter design assignments as an opportunity to teach myself Grasshopper, the node-based scripting language for our main 3D modeling software. This started me down the road of coding.

Generative Design: A Numbers Game

Computational design project for M.Arch Core I Studio.

A three-week design sprint to create an expert system for generating dormitory floor plans, given a set of quantitative and formal constraints.
