When approaching this model, I firstly sketched out a general idea of an example shelter, which included a curved overhead canopy and vertical wall. Using general values for sizing from the inital sketch, I further developed this concept in Dynamo, defining a more specific geometry for this structure. During this development, adjustments were made to the structure to create a proper parametric design, which would allow for future designs to be flexible.

Some of the parameters that I chose to implement for my design were the dimensions of the structure as a whole, allowing for any sort of increase or decrease in size in the xyz plane. Another parameter that can be changed is the location of one of the lines on the curved ramp, which can affected the overall shape of the curved roof if it is altered. More parameters include the spacing of the panels, as well as their thickness.
