This project is a demonstration of the potential for a discrete aggregation system constructed within grasshopper using plugins like Wasp. Using the density and specific relationship to the transportation infrastructure of Hong Kong as a context, This project explores the possibility of integrating the flexibility of pedestrian footbridges on a macro scale that connects city districts.
The system allows for the generation of modular structures containing more than geometry, but multiple layers of attributes acting like BIM that can integrate information for mechanical or environmental analysis. With manually designed public programs following design criteria integrated into more universal generated modules of occupation and circulation.
A clearly defined hierarchy of connection between modules means the system can be oriented to pursue different design goals, such as a general orientation of residential units towards the valuable view or the connection of smaller modules in forming community space.
Like the living city, the bridge grows to adapt to its user and the surrounding.
