The project would serve as a model in (architectural) academic circles as one that combines in-deterministic parameters such as culture, political and social; and deterministic parameters that affect spatial organization, such as the local environment, climate and built context. As an architectural/social experiment, it would serve as a model for 'culture protection' especially in these times of globalization and instant migration of mankind from one culture landscape to the next. Protecting culture becomes important in the eyes of society for understanding human interaction and preserve historical knowledge of lifestyle. As a scientific experiment, the research encompasses the little experimented methodologies of evolutionary genetic algorithms in architectural form finding, and parametric algorithms in creating non-standard (exciting) architecture. In this project solar incidence has been taken as a key factor in determining form and spatial arrangements. The final outcome would be an urban architectural intervention in the specific site in Paris, encompassing all research undertaken into a favorable interpolated solution.
