GIS + Grasshopper Suitability Analysis

by Keith VanDerSys

Jan 2, 2016

Hi All--

Here’s some final work from our LARP 543 Media 3 course at University of Pennsylvania: https://vimeo.com/147858246; https://vimeo.com/147752946. The final assignment (Dynamic Diagrams) asked students to develop their own unique standard of suitability analysis and site selection using GIS & Grasshopper. In addition to their own unique data, students were required to use 4 primary data sets (aspect, slope, hillshade, soils, land cover) in the process. The area of study was a peripheral region just outside of downtown Pittsburgh. The region has a history of landslides, high vacancy rates, development shrinkage, industrial land use, and deforestation.

      This is super cool work. Digital McHarg-ian landscape planning. I have a couple of questions about execution.

      I'm guessing that all of the raster analysis was done in ArcMAP and then projected onto the topo mesh in GH? Whereas the slope analysis I guess was done with the definition that you shared previously. I'm curious then about the flow direction - is this something that the studio developed, or something that you are building on an ongoing basis? It's based on the mesh, yes?

      Thanks for sharing! It's really great to see what you guys are working on.
