Merging Aesthetics with Practicality
Collaborating with architecture students, this project was an experiment in using parametric design tools to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. The aim was to create a visually striking yet practical soffit for a local coffee shop.
Collaborated with architecture students on a parametrically designed coffee shop soffit.
Utilized Grasshopper for Rhino 3D to integrate aesthetics and fabrication.
Delivered a dynamic, functional design within a tight timeline.
The Key Learning: A parametrically driven model incorporating build-data allowed the students to make aesthetic changes much further into the 6 week timeline - requiring only 2 days to cut materials, and one week to fabricate and install the piece. This ultimately creates more value for the client.
