Laboratory for Visionary Architecture Snowflake tower

This is a presentation about the parametric setup of LAVA's Snowflake tower. The parametric concept was developed almost one year ago, in one of the first versions of Grashopper. I thought it could be interesting to see how grashopper is already being used in some offices as a daily work tool, making the design process more efficient.
The parametric definition is based on the concept of a "Snowflake".
The Model allowed us to tweak the tower design on both micro and macro scale. Apart of just studying the width of balconies or radius of the core, we were also able to generate completely different shapes.
In a later stage, we rebuilded this model using a formula/script to describe the snowflakes.
