The intricate design of the recreation and commercial center, rooted in nonlinear and parametric principles, required comprehensive research. For this task, I leveraged Grasshopper, a robust visual programming tool for algorithmic design. An essential part of my research was geometric shape finding. I aimed to discover unique forms and patterns that would simultaneously add aesthetic allure and functionality to the center's design. I also utilized Grasshopper's wool algorithm, which was crucial in simulating structural forces and behaviors, offering valuable insight into the building's stability under different conditions. Beyond structural considerations, I ventured into façade design, ensuring that the exterior matched the building's functionality with aesthetic grandeur.I also considered energy efficiency and the building's interaction with the environment. In sum, my work with Grasshopper resulted in a well-rounded, sustainable design for the recreation and commercial center, combining artistry with technology
