DESCRIPTION
Generative design is a process of design which allows many different variations of a design to be explored in the pursuit a best fit design. In this case the grasshopper plugin for the 3d modelling programme rhino enabled the production of multiple design variations for a laneway to be constructs in New Lynn, Auckland, each exploring different rations of land use. The programme was then used to generate the files needed to construct a laser cut model.TRANSCRIPT
