The Summer has ended and it is finally cool in the city. I spent the majority of the Summer writing my Master's Thesis. Currently I have been creating digital models of Hugh Ferris' "The Four Stages", a massing interpretation of the1916 Zoning code. I also built a parametric model of Ralph Knowles' studies on solar envelopes. Once they are all modeled I plan to do a series of shadow studies and solar gains simulations. It will be interesting to see how the archaic zoning and Knowles hypotheses function in an actual solar simulation. I will be submitting my thesis draft this month so check back soon for images and selected text!
