Parametric Landscape | MSc Project

University: Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago

During my Master of Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, I explored computational design and form-finding techniques as part of the Computational Design module. Using Grasshopper, I generated complex geometries that served as the foundation for a landscape project. The process involved two main stages: first, utilizing computational methods to create optimized organic forms, and second, integrating these forms into a landscape design to enhance both aesthetics and functionality.

One of the key design explorations was a timber installation inspired by tree structures, seamlessly emerging from the landscape. The upper sections of each installation were shaped using advanced form-finding techniques, while organic columns connected them to the base, ensuring structural integrity and a natural aesthetic. This project demonstrated the potential of computational tools in shaping architectural and landscape elements that merge digital precision with organic inspiration.
