Using the plug-in Scout in Grasshopper, I analyzed the influence of daylight hours in winter and in summer, sky visibility from the ground, building views, and park visibility from building facades in order to determine the best scenarios for optimized accesibility of residents to open areas.

Modeling

New York City, NY

From studying different methods of engaging communities in participatory processes, we designed a board game to facilitate the design of an open space in an urban environment. The game is targeted at educating lay citizens in the challenges of designing a public space that incorporates conflicting interests, giving them a first introduction to the frictions and negotiations demanded by a public project. Ultimately this tool serves to give the targeted community more knowledge and empower them when participating in public engagement processes, eventually reducing the power gap between professionals and laypeople.
