Welcome to the Parametric realm, where the synergy between design and code unfolds. Here, you'll discover a collection of my explorations within visual programming, scripting, and more; I delve into the boundless potential that parametric design holds. Each piece showcased here is a testament to the power of computational tools in sculpting innovative solutions and pushing the boundaries of innovation.

DataTree Constructor

This script, titled DataTree Constructor, is designed to organize a series of elements into a Grasshopper DataTree, useful for structured data management in algorithmic modeling environments. It takes two lists: one of elements and the other of corresponding paths, ensuring they are of the same length. Then, it assigns each element to its specific path within the DataTree. If the lists do not match in length, the script alerts the user instead of proceeding. Once completed, it returns the organized DataTree as 'newTree' and prints a confirmation message. It's a useful automation for those working with complex data in Grasshopper, facilitating the creation of orderly and accessible data structures.

About

Hello! I am a passionate researcher and academician deeply entrenched in architecture, urban resilience, and environmental sustainability. My journey began with a profound curiosity about the built environment and its interplay with nature, which propelled me into a fascinating world of inquiry and discovery.Over the years, I have delved into numerous projects that explore the nexus between urban spaces and environmental amelioration. My publications, a testament to my scholarly pursuits, span various topics from urban micro-forestry to architectural video mapping. Each project I undertake is a step towards unravelling the complex tapestry of urban ecosystems and devising innovative solutions for contemporary challenges.My work is not confined to the academic sphere alone. I have had the privilege of organizing events and exhibitions that bring forth the confluence of architectural ingenuity and environmental consciousness. These platforms serve as a conduit for engaging with a broader audience, disseminating knowledge, and fostering a culture of sustainable urbanism.I believe in the power of multidisciplinary collaboration and continually seek to engage with professionals from diverse fields. Together, we embark on a quest for knowledge, striving to contribute to a body of work that resonates with our time's pressing environmental and urban issues.Welcome to a narrative of exploration, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge.
