Novosibirsk Science Park

A 350,000 m² park in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, with paths grown by Lindenmayer formal grammar and programs distributed by Voronoi tessellation.

Key challenge

How to design a public park for a town of scientists, in partnership with a master-planning office, where the program contains 89 elements across 16 thematic zones, in a way that is defensible, reproducible, and legible.

Concept

The park is treated as a combinatorial problem: 23 garden types are reduced to point, line, and surface geometries; paths are grown by Lindenmayer formal grammar; programs are distributed by Voronoi tessellation; architecture inherits the same biological logic in red leaf-canopy pergolas.
