I was brought on to refine and develop a final design based on an initial 3D sketch from the creative minds at Guildworks. To accommodate landscape design updates as well as underground utility placement, there was a clear need for a parametric approach to create a model that could respond to update placement of the structural columns.
My custom Grasshopper script automated this complex design process by allowing the exploration of a vast range of design possibilities. To finalize the design, I used structural analysis software to resolve forces acting on the structure and appropriately size the steel, cables and fabric specification. This design is the result of perfect balance between form, function, and structural integrity, resulting in a design that is as visually compelling as it is technically robust. The comprehensive design intent package I delivered provided the essential information for a successful construction bid, ensuring that this pivotal public space will become a vibrant hub for community events and interaction with ASU.
