The Lucas Museum Roof Ribbon is a sweeping architectural element defined by its complex, sculptural form. As part of the Pursuit, Design, and Construction team at KHS&S, I helped transform this challenging geometry into a buildable system using advanced computational design workflows.

​

We subdivided the freeform surface into 195 discrete panels, which were classified into 15 unique engineering types to streamline fabrication and assembly. Each panel consisted of a system of Ribs, Framing Studs, Steel Tubes, and customized connections to ground and wall anchors.

​

Using Rhino and Grasshopper, along with Studio and Fenix and StudIO software, I developed parametric models that automated panel segmentation, system detailing, and metadata generation. I also used C# scripting to create custom components and tools that enhanced Grasshopper's capabilities—enabling more precise control over geometry processing, logic-based categorization, and direct output for fabrication.

​

This process allowed for tight coordination between design, engineering, and construction teams, ensuring the final built form remained true to its conceptual vision while meeting practical buildability standards.
