Simulations began with a series of unlabeled drawings of existing buildings. Using the ceiling plan of FOA’s Yokohama Port Terminal as my base drawing, I constructed a digital 3D model reinterpreting the space. Drawing inspiration from the digital architectures of first-person video games, I re-imagined the roof as a series of peeling planes that lift to let light in. Using Grasshopper, the model was adjusted based on three perspectival views. The drawings below show the potential manipulations of the model and four perspectival "slices".
