Generation and Legacy

| The decentralisation of a museum is no easy feat, alongside that to have one that engages with context and provides connection through the site requires great care. This studio was my first direct foray into using generative tools for architectural design, one that called not only for a digitally driven one, but must be justified as fit for use via iteration and permutation.

Technically speaking this project is simplistic, seen below I’ve generated a range of responses prioritising in one dimension the relationship of affordable housing (private) to the museum collection (public), in the other axis, there are a range of circulation paths through site. These two work together to create a massing and landscape.
