Design Approach: A Blend of Technical Precision and Artistic Creativity
Computational design can enhance creativity by enabling architects to generate complex geometries and patterns that would be challenging to achieve with conventional methods. Algorithms allow for the exploration of numerous design iterations, fostering a high degree of innovation. Computational design also helps optimize energy efficiency, material use, and overall environmental impact, aligning with modern demands for sustainable architecture A core aspect of my work is parametric thinking, which involves setting and adjusting design parameters to meet specific outcomes. This method allows for the creation of adaptive designs that can evolve based on various constraints and conditions.Software like Grasshopper and Rhino play a crucial role in simulating and optimizing designs, leading to more efficient and innovative architectural solutions.
The synergy between computational design and digital fabrication techniques, such as 3D printing and CNC milling, has expanded the possibilities for architectural experimentation, offering new opportunities for optimizing performance and exploring novel design solutions.
