This academic project explored the application of computational design methods to the development of a contemporary recreation center.
The concept was based on a continuous architectural envelope generated through a parametric design process. Rather than treating the building as a collection of independent volumes, the project investigated how a single geometric system could organize circulation, spatial hierarchy and structural expression.
Using Rhino and Grasshopper, multiple iterations of the building form were evaluated through the manipulation of geometric parameters controlling curvature, rhythm and spatial continuity. The resulting architecture combined enclosed public functions with a central open atrium defined by a lightweight structural framework.
Although developed as an academic project, the work reflects an early interest in computational design methodologies that would later become a significant part of my professional practice. Many of the ideas explored here — parametric control, generative form finding and system-based design — continued to evolve through later architectural, visualization and software development projects.
