The Seed in the Reed was created in the bachelor studio Architecture in the Contemporary. This course is mainly focused on “developing novel spatial and structural typologies through the use of surface modeling, simulation and digital fabrication”. We explored this with the help of digital tools such as Rhinoceros, Grasshopper and Blender. Getting familiar with these programmes was a big part of t

Bakgrund. Prioriteringar är nödvändiga inom hälso- och sjukvården eftersom samhällets resurser är begränsade. Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal har alltid behövt prioritera mellan olika behandlingar och patientgrupper.
