Parametric design of noise-reducing structures using Grasshopper

While urbanisation drives social progress, it also triggers a series of challenges, among which noise pollution is particularly serious. This is a design proposal for solving noise problems in public open spaces. This design project is carried out in the city of Chengdu, a large and busy metropolis in south-west China. Based on the principles of porous acoustic absorption and resonant acoustic absorption, this project explores the feasibility of using acoustic structures, which resemble canopies and soundproof walls, to address local noise pollution challenges. The project combines digital design tools with practical problems, exploring the many capabilities of architectural modelling software to achieve better design results with algorithms.
