KNIPHOFIA-AFTER GAUDÍ

Kniphofia is a computational-based amphitheater design project aimed at serving the rural communities of Cape Town, South Africa. The project draws inspiration from the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí evident in its name. The studio’s objective was to explore the remarkable composition and parametric design of hyperbolic paraboloid surfaces found in the architect’s various designs and reinterpret them in the present-day realm of architecture. To enhance the environmental efficiency of the structure, the design has been optimized using computational design tools such as Wallacei and Galapagos
