Grasshopper for Rhino was used in the initial phases of design to obtain generative designs based on certain inputs. For the project the circulation input was designed such that the building would be informed by the resultant circulatory networks at the different levels of the building. A rational grid was used to constrain the built form to a certain dimension to give rise to a bi directional building. REGULAR GRID

Ground circulation is thought of as a force and modeled as a force. It is thought of to represent the directionality of peoples’ movement. It is a way to understand the operation of people in a single direction and to anticipate the built form that arises from such an assumption. The circulation iterations give rise to complex networks of force flow that correlates to the motion of people. This translates to the porosity seen at all levels in plan and in section.

conceptual chair design that would incorporate the principles of material utilization such that material allocation can be optimised
The articulation and differentiation of the chair from its precedence is based on the understanding of the increased stresses along the regions with higher degree of curvature namely the kinks as well as regions near the boundaries that result in edge conditions which are less supported. As a result we approached the new proposed chair using a budling method where we concetrate bundles of material at regions that experience higher stresses, resulting in a curvaceous aesthetic
