LEE'shell: Grasshopper Script
Parametric Engine_12.jpg.jpeg)
Scripting complex architectural responses through automated geometric iteration. The "rotated arc shell" uses a series of arcs rotated around a central axis to form a cohesive, sheltering skin.
The Rotation Arc Concept
The design philosophy utilizes algorithmic form-finding to achieve structural elegance. By defining mathematical parameters for arc rotation, we create a dynamic volume that responds to both aesthetic intent and environmental necessity.
