Project 2 - Algorithms and Scripting for Parametric Design

  Practice:  British Museum Great Court The project's goal was to improve the roof of the British Museum's Great Court by refining the initial parametric model from Project 1. This involved using advanced modeling techniques to focus on different parametric modeling aspects. This phase was a continuation of Project 1, which used the Kangaroo physics engine to simulate dynamic effects, and aimed to make important corrections to the first version of the project.  To achieve this, tools like Rhino/Grasshopper for parametric modeling, genetic algorithms for optimizing design elements such as cost, daylight factors, and structural performance, and AI technologies for predictive analytics and visualizing the final model were used. Scripting within Grasshopper automated cost calculations and material optimization, while the Ladybug and Honeybee plugins provided environmental simulations to enhance daylight.       Cost and Material Specifications The project utilized Grasshopper's
