PAVING SCRIPTS
The paving at South Park was fully dynamic with the length, width, sliders, and radii able to be changed as needed.

percolation drainage system visualization
A drywell and french drainage system was used in the park to percolate rainwater rather than connect the park to the city sewer main. Grasshopper allowed us to visualize the drainage system and convince the public utilities commission that it would work.
use of weighted attactors
Grasshopper was used to replicate the original analog design process using weighted attractors.
