Computational Aggregation: Rule-Based Design and Generative Workflows in Grasshopper

A ten-day workshop at the Bartlett, UCL, taught by Brendan Callan and Nour Fadwa Richani.

Students moved from solar radiation and pedestrian network analysis to component design and rule-based aggregation. Rules were tested iteratively in Rhino and Grasshopper and developed into speculative architectural proposals for Seville.

Robotic Assembly, 2026

This project was developed during a robotic manufacturing module with The Bartlett School of Architecture. Pick-and-place assembly sequences were planned in Grasshopper for a KUKA 20-3C. Each sequence was mapped from a pick position to a stacking platform, with the robot’s poses studied at every step to keep its motion clear of the assembly.

Retail Concept, 2024

This project was developed as a concept for the New York store of a fashion brand headquartered in Stockholm. A brushed-steel volume was placed along the length of the shop, holding the changing rooms on one side and shelving for folded garments on the other. Its reflective surface was used to soften the movement of people around it, blurring the line between browsing and changing.

Shadows and Whispers, 2022

This project was produced as part of a workshop with the Living Architecture Systems Group. In an attempt to create a new conversation with the surrounding natural environment, the workshop experimented with hybrid sound and lightscape. A final installation and performance was used to express the findings of endless connections and transitions in nature.
