OVERVIEW
“Opti -Blob” is a project developed as the final task for Computational design. The objective of the seminar was to develop an optimized high rise building with a responsive skin. Providing maximum of 75% site area and the pedestrian passage as constraints to the Galapagos component used in Grasshopper.
LOCATION
The site is a vacant plot opposite Parc Central del Poblenou on Avinguda Diagonal and is surrounded by a series of high-rise buildings.
