Single Family Housing Study
In this study we examined parametrically how a single housing family development consisting of identical two-level villas with terraces could be distributed on a sloping suburban site overlooking a valley. The challenge was to provide all units with a view while

Student Works
In the Spring of 2014, approximately 40 students from the Architecture and Design program at Aalborg University followed my parametric urban design course. Here are some interesting student works from the course.
Architecturae et Artibus
Published in Architecturae et Artibus, vol. 19, no. 1, 2014
Parametric urban design is a potentially powerful tool for collaborative urban design processes. Rather than making one-off designs which need to be redesigned from the ground up in case of changes, parametric design tools make it possible keep the design open while at the same time allowing for a level of detailing which is high enough to facilitate an understanding of the generic qualities of proposed designs.
Guest Professor at Student Workshop
