Think Green

Hi to all Grasshoppers,

I am doing at a moment some research for a interior city...Some kind of B.Fuller "Glasdome", making a new microclima in existing cities.

I belive that this kind of structures can improve selfsufficiency of cities, minimum at areas with bigger dencity >

not sure for Manhattan or Hong Kong, I am thinking more in direction of re-designing smaller cities like Graz, Wien(Opernring) , Barcelona maybe (just to get out of Austria :)

Like pimp my city, or sustain my city :)

City Map>

I getting a dwg-s for cities from OpenSourceMap, Maperitive and Ghowl (Terrain) and importing them in to the Rhino.

GH>

Random extrusion for existing buildings, search for squares or other empty places and making a start circles there, moving in z-achse, offseting a litle bit (not logical just estetical purpose) and connecting group of 2 circles with  Minimalsurface.

With Kangaroo build a Mesh above, then some Weavebird components and it is done.

Question>

I do not have algorithimic problem at a moment, more architectural!

1. I search for a cities with "nice" core, old parts (Innenstadt), suitable for intervention, like that they have old castle appearance, bigger dencity, smaller buildings height, river for water ect...

At moment I am working on Graz Innenstadt, and next is Wien Opernring///

2. Some ideas for art of meshing subdivision and Digital Fabrication?

3. Proposal for temperature study inside closed glass structure?

Any Green Idea, that can be implemented is also welcome!
