Entropic City. Parametric design.

This project was a project designed around our education in grasshopper and parametric design. We were given a buzzword designed to be a starting point in designing a simple 3d model. My word was entropic based around entropy, the movement from simplicity to chaos. For this I decided to focus my model around the evolution of a city and look into the growth and build up of chaos within urban design. Using grasshopper I designed two city designs that can be controlled and organically grown using digital parameters. One design based on a voronoi design and one on a traditional block design.

Growth of a city over time. Learning its mapping
Type of city designs and thier organic growth
Variation in height
Reduction in chaos from a center point
mapping this change
