Urban Field Development

2014-11-12T13:12:00.497Z

Urban archipelago simulation showing informal growth developing in areas between formally planned communities. These growth areas are chosen based on a resource attraction provided by existing infrastructure (the red line), and based on areas of least expansion potential in the urban field.

As the planned settlements begin to grow this expansion potential increases and the informal settlements are pushed back to allow for further development.

Initial Field Experiments

2014-11-05T16:52:08.838Z

Urban Diagramming:
Initial simulations exploring the relational field interactions between settlements and how these develop over time. The field strength of the individual settlements are based on 'available resources' to the wider area. Settlements expand at varied rates and increase their field of influence, thus reducing the overall available resources to the urban system and ultimately absorbing the smaller urban nodes.

Dynamic Surface : Physical Prototype

2014-06-17T16:36:20.619Z

A prototype model consisting of a singular element of the fluid surface system. Utilising light sensors, arduino, firefly and grasshopper to control movement of the model.

Developed as part of the Abstract Machines MArch Unit at Leeds School Of Architecture
