Grid deformations created through parametric forces creates opportunities to explore the relationships between services crucial to a developing city. The mutability of urban space merges zones into continuous unified surfaces where commercial and public intertwine, yet public spaces nest separately in the porous fiber of the urban condition. Commercial and government buildings circumvent public spaces allowing easy access to a continuous flow of programs and information. The volumes of public space emerge as circular pockets where people can gather and adjust spaces to their needs. As the city evolves, spatial designations transgress, and microenvironments emerge within larger zones. The sweeping paths offer a unique sense of place for the inhabitants, and the curving lanes expand and contract as needed where urban formations can absorb dense growth and dissipation of built form. The textured landscape absorbs and replicates dynamically to suit the needs of an ever-growing Everyville.
