Yet, the project remains as a seemingly-rare example of how computational methods can directly generate distinctly landscape architectural design features. As the similarly-faceted forms of Plasma Studio and Groundlab's *Flowing Gardens* project illustrate, the formal epiphenomenon of digital modelling are easily identified and are often stated as having been shaped (indirectly) by landscape conditions and logics.[@Hansen:2011] Yet direct computationally-enabled ties between landscape forms and landscape logics — that is to say a generative processes that mediates between the two — remains rare. Many techniques exist for analysing the different aspects of a landscape in isolation[^iso] but part of the ongoing novelty of the *Barcelona Botanic Gardens* is that it developed a more holistic model that could incorporate the otherwise-isolated aspects of landscape form, landscape analysis, and planting design into a cohesive set of procedures that could help to generate (rather than just validate) a design. {% include elements/figure.html image='model.jpg' alt='Rhinoceros model of the Botanic Gardens of Barcelona' %} -{% include elements/figure.html image='definition.jpg' caption='Grasshopper definition recreating the basic analysis of the triangular grid and allocating plants accordingly.' credit='Philip Belesky, for https://groundhog.philipbelesky.com' %} +{% include elements/figure.html image='definition.png' caption='Grasshopper definition recreating the basic analysis of the triangular grid and allocating plants accordingly.' credit='Philip Belesky, for https://groundhog.philipbelesky.com' %} [^iso]: For instance determining surface water flows or solar gain over a given topographic surface.
