blue saddle roof | parametric design of a roof installation with computational design 

MASTER PROJECT. Project developed during the seminar "Computational Design"  in the Master in Advanced Architecture at IAAC (Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia)  FULL SCHOLARSHIP

This project was developed in the Computational Design Seminar with the goal of proposing a new installation for the roof of IAAC’s main building using parametric design through Grasshopper and Kangaroo components. The resulting structure aims to improve the quality of the open area, adding shade, light, and shadow effects and creating a base for creeper plants to grow. New sitting areas were proposed to create spaces for social interaction, studying, and relaxing during the breaks.

1. For the base geometry, a grid was created using the lines from the openings of the building and It was divided in 3 main modules
