GhPython Form Finding
The problem was to propose a solution for Oskar von Miller ring crossing.
Together with a team from BIG Engineering we used
ghPython and Grasshopper to generate several proposals of a bridge design over the entrance to Altstadtringtunnel.
We were able to generate 3 final solutions which were taken considering the number of aspects which included physical stability, wind analysis, space usage etc. Here are the variants in simple geometry representation that was used for analysis.
The first option is a twisted geometry which can be seen in many existing bridge designs.
The second option was about to connect bridge structural elements to facades of the building nearby:
The final option has been taken considering all the parameters and our vision.
