Eco-City Master Plan
27-Mar-08
to 16-May-08
The challenge of this project was to place buildings of various heights and profiles in such a way as to maximize floor area while guaranteeing at least two hours of direct sunlight on all residential spaces (one of northern China's building codes). To accomplish this I used an additive place/evaluate/modify approach that used shadow intersection checks. This process was a major departure from the typical rules of thumb and overnight solar analyses typically used in projects of this type. It allowed a more urban-like fabric to develop. Coding in RhinoScript. Documentation drawings in Illustrator and animation in Camtasia.
