Parametric Urbanism and Project Proposal

The project we are required to do is closely related to parametric urbanism. Since we are using software that generates patterns and derives possible proposals for future cities (cities which will change due to changes in our lifestyle) we can call it a new style: Parametricism.

Schumacher described Parametricism as a new style rooted in digital animation techniques based on advanced parametric design systems and scripting techniques. It is dominating as a part of avant-garde architecture.

The project I presented for mid-term is created in Grasshopper and Rhinoceros, and is about to be developed further. For the instructions I followed the tutorial from YouTube Channel: Om. Egvo which deals with curve attractor properties in Grasshopper. I modified some details, and created a proposal for future city. This is the final Outcome:
