Description
Last spring, the Louisiana Tech Design/Build studio designed and built a pedestrian entry for a local park. The project drew its formal inspiration from the Voronoi geometry found in leaf venation patterns and the dappled tree canopy found on the project site. To create and manipulate these patterns the designers explored how parametric design tools can improve an architect’s ability to create appropriate design solutions without compromising constructability. With the design and construction processes serving as their experiment, it was found that even modest incorporation of parametric design tools can allow greater control of complex geometry creating more desirable outcomes.
