Personal Research: A digital tool within Rhino and Grasshopper focused on the precise positioning of mineral void formers in Functionally Graded Concrete (FGC) structures. The tool automates the bundling and placement process, optimizing material distribution based on structural analysis. This approach is key to reducing resource consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and construction waste in the concrete industry. By enhancing design efficiency and enabling more sustainable construction practices, the tool facilitates the creation of lighter, more recyclable concrete elements.
