Exploring adaptability

Exploring possibilities of generated design I found especially interesting the idea of adaptation. Looking into precedents like this Aires Mateus house for the elderly below – one module is repeated in a way that the building as a whole follows topography. I decided to explore this topic further (although I didn’t really achieve what I was initially planning).

 

Exploration of simple composition based on the grid.

 

An attempt on creating parametrically adaptable stairs.

 

Adapting an existing cracking algorithm in order to get a more complex shape (initially the aim of this exercise was to crack the polygon in a way to create adaptable staircase).
