  • Run experiments documenting each fi tness criteria individually, allowing me to understand how each impacts the overall movement of the structure.
  • Refine metric analysis in Excel, looking at weighting and transformation.
  • Evaluate different positions within the stadium to understand how modules react differently.
  • Develop aggregations: Return to multi-depth modules exploring how this impacts structure and form.
