Pyramidal

Like physical model making and digital modelling, rule based parametric modeling is also a great tool for visualizing iterations in shorter times. After doing the site study of Homewood Neighborhood and realizing potential adjacencies and connections across the site, this script was developed to to visualize pyramidal massing options around open spaces for market rate housing on site area of 7.5 acres. For large scale projects, excel sheets often give a fair idea of maximum possible units. This script takes it forward by adding rules of form. While you may argue the relevance of this, this is a great way of iterating and post rationalizing in search for newer ways of designing housing. An iteration need not be taken as is, but observations could be made and parts could be chosen.
