After having constructed an argument that links the grasshopper construct with its possible spatial repercussions (based on human density and volumes of opportunity), I am going to start inserting these ideas in grasshopper (to see what actual spaces can be generated) and rethinking the model, in order to intruduce precision into it and test different materials.

ReplyDeleteEduardo,
ReplyDeleteThe diagrams you posted are super clear and I think that your inclination towards architectural potentials is a great first move. I wonder if there is a way to not only test the human density/occupation system, but also the "existing fabric". Could the urban fabric be broken down into parts, components, or simply assemblages of classified moments; like points, edges, surfaces, confluence of lines and surfaces, etc. That way, you could be exploring the fabric itself through a new lens and not be stuck using generic volumes that are supposed to represent our understanding of "urban fabric" (or bland bldgs). This might give your density/occupation system something exciting to respond to - making the construct rich from both perspectives...
I would also take some time to assemble a map, generated and evaluated from your (multiple) grasshopper studies. Overlay, or otherwise assemble the conditions from which you are building your rules. This drawing would be the link between the digital studies and your physical model.
