Plan-Pal schematic building model output
Computational Tools01

Plan-Pal

2024

A Grasshopper plug-in that generates schematic building models — residential towers, hotels, and offices — from site data and parameters, built as an in-house alternative to commercial feasibility tools.

Urban typology clustering visualisation
Research02

Urban Typology Clustering

2025

A machine learning pipeline that clusters buildings by urban typology using OpenStreetMap and Google Earth 3D data, surfacing outlier plots with untapped development potential.

Parametric Masterplan

2025

A parametric Grasshopper model generating full building configurations for a 360,000 m² mixed-use district in Budapest, with real-time area breakdowns for developer feasibility studies.

VisuAI app interface showing sketch-to-render workflow
Computational Tools04

VisuAI

2024

A fast rendering app that transforms any sketch into a 3D architectural render based on user-defined style preferences — built as an early market experiment in AI-assisted visualization.

Completed fire pit installation at night
Architecture05

Fire Pit

2022

A parametrically designed and hand-built fire pit, constructed during a 4-day CSR camp — an exercise in translating an algorithmic design into a physical object on site.

Check app — warehouse layout tool in the browser
Computational Tools06

Check

2025

A browser-based decision support app for industrial and logistics building feasibility — sketch layouts, get instant quantitative outputs for area breakdowns and business planning.

Automatic parking layout generated in Grasshopper
Computational Tools07

Automatic Parking Design

2021

A Grasshopper algorithm that generates optimized parking layouts within any user-defined boundary, with full parametric control over space dimensions, angle, and street configuration.

MetaHUB project banner
Architecture08

MetaHUB

2022

An NFT collection and linked metaverse environment where each token is a key to a unique spatial experience — designed end-to-end in Grasshopper and published on Spatial.

Grasshopper-ArchiCAD Live Connection course on Graphisoft Learn
Course09

Get Started with Parametric Design in ArchiCAD

2023

A 45-minute foundation course on the Graphisoft Learn platform, teaching the Grasshopper-ArchiCAD Live Connection to BIM professionals looking to add parametric workflows to their practice.

Course10

Grasshopper Course

2022

A Hungarian-language Udemy course on parametric modelling in Grasshopper, covering fundamentals through practical architectural workflows for beginners and intermediate users.

Sunlight hours analysis on a New York building
Research11

Ladybug and Honeybee Practice

2021

An end-to-end environmental analysis of a New York building using Ladybug and Honeybee — covering sunlight hours, radiation, solar envelope, shadow impact, shading, and energy balance.

Mask plug-in — urban EPW generation in Grasshopper
Computational Tools12

Mask

2021

A Grasshopper plug-in that connects Ladybug Dragonfly and Elk to generate urban building topology and EPW files from OpenStreetMap data — making city-scale environmental analysis accessible without manual setup.

Solar-responsive facade — static density system
Architecture13

Grasshopper Ladybug Facades

2020

Two facade systems — one static, one kinetic — where Ladybug solar analysis directly drives facade density and panel behaviour based on harmful sunlight exposure.

Generative design methodology overview diagram
Research14

Master Thesis

2020

A research thesis examining why generative design has not been widely adopted in architecture — identifying computational literacy as the key barrier and proposing practical paths forward.

Recursive sculpture tower — main render
Architecture15

Recursive Sculpture

2020

A conceptual tower designed as the library of the world — where information is distributed wirelessly rather than stored, and the building's geometry is generated by a recursive parametric algorithm.

Algae growth simulation — animated branching sequence
Research16

Algae Growth Simulation

2020

A Python-based simulation of biological growth behaviour in Grasshopper — used as a generative logic to design a small pavilion structure.

Floating tower — main concept render
Architecture17

Floating Tower Concept

2020

A concept tower for temporary refugee accommodation in Barcelona — a floating structure in the harbour organized around a single formal gesture inspired by the motion of a flower opening.

Computational design coursework — procedural animation
Research18

Computational Design Coursework

2020

A series of Grasshopper and Python exercises from the Biodigital Architecture MSc — exploring geometry generation, procedural animation, and natural system simulation.

Galaxy SOHO by Zaha Hadid — Rhino remodel
Architecture19

Rhino3D Projects

2020

Remodelling exercises from the start of my master's programme — two complex buildings rebuilt in Rhinoceros in a single day each.

Architecture physical model — farmhouse with shading
Architecture20

Architecture Models

2014

A selection of physical models made over the course of the Bachelor degree — from a space composition cave carved from a cube to a farmhouse, a weekend house, and an abstract tower.
