Individual part

Urban design explorations

Curves from different test variations were extracted and a combination of it forms the base circulation grid for the site plan. Also modifying the initial output to comply with functions and requirements for plots. The curves are used as roads connecting the site with the main road and establishing internal circulation within the site with respect to the context of the site.

Role

• Experimental study by applying various inputs in simulation.

• Establishing connections.

• Documenting the process.
