Utilized grasshopper skills to create a parametric design that incorporates elements of AI to generate stunning and innovative images. By power of AI, I was able to create a series of generative models that produced unique and striking designs, each with its own distinctive aesthetic.

SENSORY

The main purpose of the project carried out on Heybeliada was to enhance the feelings of people in the existing area. I emphasized this by offering different views with masses placed in various angles and strengthening the connection between the sea and land. Additionally, it was designed to contribute to the increase in the young population on the island by also being a bar project.
