Project Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For my final project, I have decided to generate and 3D print a set of skyscrapers. Rather than manually modeling the buildings, I will develop a program to algorithmically generate the designs. This approach will allow me to create unique skyscrapers with intricate architectural features driven by computational techniques. I would like to explore how computational elements and design can generate new and exciting models and real world structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I plan to read papers on architecture, civil engineering, and 3D building fabrication to inform my design choices. My goal is to produce skyscrapers that are not only visually interesting but also practical from a real world design perspective. I envision creating a collection of skyscrapers that could realistically be placed adjacent to each other on a city block, and I may even add roads and additional city infrastructure to place the skyscrapers within a larger urban context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each skyscraper will incorporate elements of mathematics and 3D modeling concepts covered in this class, as well as modern skyscraper design features. To meet the computational requirements of this project, I will focus on generating the designs programmatically, ensuring that each building has unique attributes and follows real world constraints such as structural stability. That being said, I would still like to push the boundaries and see what is possible to generate with this approach that differs from existing architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For specific elements, I plan to use the Turtle Slicer for at least one skyscraper to experiment with more intricate slicing techniques. Additionally, I want to generate another skyscraper based on real world data, similar to the methods of using data we found for Project #3. Other skyscrapers will incorporate mathematical functions, such as sine waves, to create new and innovative structures. I want the buildings to be unique from one another and explore new computational design elements for each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I will be working alone for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper provides a framework for evaluating skyscraper design and construction systems, addressing the complexity of selecting effective solutions from a global array of practices and technologies. It identifies key categories, criteria, and perspectives that are critical for decision-making for high-rise building projects. This work will inform my project by guiding the selection of practical, real-world elements to incorporate into my skyscraper models, ensuring they reflect both architectural innovation and feasibility. This paper also has strong insights into the artistic design that goes into making certain skyscrapers appealing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper explores how digital tools and computation are transforming architectural design practices, especially regarding creativity and design thinking. The paper considers how digital environments enhance designers imaginative capacities while requiring a complex understanding of computation, materials, and affective interactions. This research will inform my project by highlighting how digital tools can expand creative possibilities in architectural modeling, encouraging innovative use of 3D design software in my skyscraper models. I think that I will be able to compare and contrast some methods I learned in this class to the paper as well as exploring new 3D design methods more focused on the architecture side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
