MCDC - Generative Design
Mixed Use Highrise/Optioneering
2025 / Mixed Use. Form & Mass optimization using galapagos
Instructor: Piyush Prajapati
Tools: Rhino3D, Grasshopper3d & Wallacei
Goal: Optimization
This activity was an exploration in generative design, where the tower form was driven by parameters such as maximizing shadow, enhancing visibility, and minimizing area deviation. Using wallacei as an evolutionary solver, different iterations were tested and optimized, resulting in torsional geometries that balance performance with expression. The process emphasized how computational tools can transform constraints into design opportunities, creating forms that are both efficient and dynamic.
