Voronoi-Driven Urban Iterative Design
The project utilizes parametric design to replicate the urban context of London, employing a tailored procedural algorithm for generating diverse street network configurations and building typologies. The model incorporates controlled Voronoi diagrams, adjusting the structure of the network by manipulating points within defined boundaries. This approach allows for the creation of a range of street […]
Real-time Urban Energy Prediction | PhD Research
This project leverages advanced machine learning techniques to predict urban energy demand in real-time, using a variety of urban and building features. By developing a parametric model, we simulate different urban forms and mixed-use buildings, capturing essential design parameters that influence energy consumption. Through a series of iterative simulations, we create a robust dataset that […]
Motion Responsive Canopy
University: University of the West of England As part of my PhD research at UWE Bristol, I designed an Arduino-based circuit to collect hourly motion data around the entrance of the JISC building. This data was used to inform the design of a kinetic canopy that responded dynamically to both real-time human interaction and scheduled […]
