This is the first in what I hope to be a longer series of Case Studies, where I want to look at well-known landscape design projects that include parametric thinking, and to try and understand the projects through recreating their logics using Rhino and Grasshopper. This first one is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, designed by the architect Peter Eisenmann in the late 1990’s and built in the early 2000’s (dedicated 2005). Wikipedia Article I think that by looking at how these systems are set up or could be setup, general principles for developing a method on your own projects can be developed. It is also useful to see how some of the more abstract systems explored in the tutorials could be applied to real projects. The original idea for this particular case study came from watching a youtube tutorial done by Jeremy Jaramillo in 3 parts. I recommend watching the tutorial first, and then reading through some additional tools I found useful for “recreating” this iconic piece of landscape architecture. Before getting into the grasshopper definition, I want to look at some photos that explain the overall logic, and also some of the nuances of the memorial.
