ARCHCOMPILER™ Parametric Architecture
Inspired by the Basílica de la Sagrada Família
COMPUTATIONAL FAITH IN STONE
A Parametric, Physics-Driven Cathedral by Wickerson Studios
At Wickerson Studios, we don’t just model buildings —
we encode belief, physics, and geometry into living systems.
This project is a next-generation computational reconstruction and speculative extension of La Basílica de la Sagrada Família, driven entirely by first-principles mathematics, structural physics, and high-fidelity parametric logic inside Rhino + Grasshopper.
No Breps.
No SubD shortcuts.
No hand-waving geometry.
Only deterministic math, validated meshes, and architectural intelligence.
WHAT MAKES THIS EXTRAORDINARY
✝️ Faith, Encoded as Mathematics
This church is generated using:
- Fourier series & trigonometric polynomials for organic modulation
- Superformula geometry for Gaudí-inspired tower cross-sections
- Catenary physics for arches, buttresses, and vault logic
- Helical torsion & curvature control for spires, ribs, and crowns
- Grid-relaxed tower placement ensuring zero coincidence, full structural clarity
Every curve means something.
Every surface earns its existence.
🧠 PhD-Level Engineering Intelligence
The entire basilica is built as a single parametric system:
- Nave, aisles, transept, apse, vaults, walls, towers, buttresses
- Fully budgeted geometry generation (performance-safe at ultra-high LOD)
- Deterministic outputs — identical inputs always produce identical results
- Mesh-only, watertight-aware massing suitable for fabrication, simulation, or export
This is architecture as an algorithm, not a static model.
🏗️ Industrial-Strength Outputs
The system produces:
- Plan Curves (architectural logic & control geometry)
- Tower Curves (ornament, perforation belts, crowns)
- Structural Lines (ribs, arches, force paths)
- Key Points & semantic markers
- Validated, cleaned, gated Massing Mesh
- Degenerate faces culled
- Normals unified
- Holes filled (configurable)
- No NaNs, no zero-area junk
Everything is safe, inspectable, and production-ready.
WHY THIS MATTERS
This project is not a replica.
It is a proof of capability:
- For next-generation architectural design
- For heritage-scale parametric reconstruction
- For AI-assisted design systems grounded in physics
- For studios, institutions, and visionaries who want architecture that thinks
