About this project
I developed this parametric masterplan model for a new mixed-use neighbourhood in Budapest, built for a real estate developer's master thesis and published as an interactive tool on ShapeDiver. The Grasshopper script generates complete building configurations for the site and produces detailed area breakdowns — residential, office, commercial, underground parking — that developers use directly in feasibility calculations.
Users can explore a wide range of design scenarios by adjusting building heights, densities, and programme mix, or input a target FAR value to receive a corresponding design solution. The project focuses on a 360,000 m² site adjacent to a major railway station, where the long-term vision involves moving the tracks underground and reclaiming the surface for development.
The parametric model supports this study by testing how different urban configurations perform both spatially and economically.
