Genetic Optimization
The intent of this assignment was to use Evolutionary Solvers, such as Galapagos or Biomorpher, in Grasshopper to generate parametrised iterations and find an optimized solution for a given problem.
In this instance, the MINIMUM DEFLECTION of an ETFE canopy is being solved, by seeking the optimized number of pillars to support it.
