Through a series of explorations, this project aims to understand and explore strategies of aggregation growth, with the focus on constraining the growth to a fixed number of modules in each growth iteration

 

 

STEP I

Iterative growth strategy customization

 

01 | Setting base growth strategy

Customized growth process to achieve 4 x 1 voxel growth

                                                                                                                                                      

02 | Customization of data output

 

03 | Establishing criteria for comparison of growth patterns

 

04 | Exploring growth strategies

 

Final Aggregation

 

STEP II

Post-process analysis, information extraction, and spatial distribution of the architectural elements

 

01 | Voxel group distribution

 

 

02 | Terrace distribution

 

 

03 | Balcony distribution

 

 

04 | Solar panels based on solar analysis

 

STEP III

Architectural elements

 

01| Catalog of Elements

 

 

02 | Voxel placement

 

03 | Seater placement

 

04 | Balcony placement

 

05 | Plug in placement
