Project 02 - Confluence Park April 22, 2024 Project 02 | ARCH 655 | Professor: Dr. Wei Yan Alberto Ibarra (M.ARCH Student) Texas A&M University 01 - Project Brief Figure 1| Confluence Park by Rhino Display. Project 02 builds on the development of of Project 01, where I worked with the design of the Confluence Pavilion by Lake|Flato. In Project 01 I developed parametric 2D reference lines that allowed me to adjust dimensions, scale, and height. After I utilized the polar array component to create the surface. This approach facilitated the projection of a voronoi pattern which was inspired by the design conversations with AI such as ChatGPT. In this project, I am working with genetic algorithms in Grasshopper, specifically utilizing Galapagos, to optimize the design process and facilitate multiple design iterations. The primary objective of this project is to enhance the efficiency of design with the help of genetic algorithms to adjust the scale, height, and positioning of the str
