Davis_ContextFree_RBPark



The script made generates a random iteration of tentacles stretching across the extents of the window.  These curves are made from random assortment of orange circles and black squares.  I specifically chose this variation due to the unique placement of the red and blue triangles in the center of the window.  These triangles are the "emergence" that I wanted in my final artifact that will become a celebrated social space in the program for the redesign of the Romare Bearden Park.



After playing with the forms created by the Context Free program, I assigned each of the shapes a programatic element of the park.  The orange circles became plots of grass, the black squares formed into kiosks and a sheltered beer garden, and the triangles became a double-level cafe that overlooks the entire park.  This final product still expresses the flow of circulation within the park, and by using the Context Free program, created a hierarchy of geometries based off arbitrary design.
