SYSTEMS

A parametric exploration of cylindrical modular units that assemble into dense, adaptive urban clusters. Each module is designed as an autonomous living cell — combining structural integrity, passive environmental control, and social connectivity through its geometry.

The system was generated entirely in Grasshopper using custom growth algorithms inspired by cellular aggregation. Every configuration obeys strict structural rules while maintaining visual richness through variation in module orientation, fenestration pattern, and integrated vegetation.
