Procedural Facade Systems mapped onto a series of sculptural forms - the repeating geometry of the systems remains live-editable, as does the logical sequence from which their placement is derived - cel edge shader.

Procedurally-generated piping; the piping path and the individual pipe profiles and the grouping are each generated procedurally, so they cal all be managed and altered in real-time independently

Procedural spiral stairs - each element type is contained in a separate source mesh, which is then procedurally replicated and transformed; some of the geometry is also procedurally adjusted on-the-fly for best design  - entire stair view cel edge shader

Ongoing exploration of parametric and procedural design - processes which lend themselves very well to architectonic form-finding at a conceptual stage, as they are nodal, and thus easily iterated and mutable through a range of design options.

I've been experimenting with procedural modeling and concept finding for some time - some of the last of the images in this portfolio are from quite some time ago - but most are far more recent developments.
