This study presents a Grasshopper-based simulation developed to explore roof alternatives for the Seorae Global Village Center proposal. Unlike a conventional gable roof, the proposed roof consists of three inclined planes, making it difficult to test design variations through manual modeling alone.

To address this complexity, a parametric script was developed to generate roof forms by adjusting key design parameters. The script allowed multiple roof alternatives to be reviewed quickly while also checking potential conflicts between form, structure, and building equipment. Through this process, the simulation functioned not only as a tool for form exploration, but also as a technical design method for coordinating architectural geometry with structural and MEP requirements.

Overall, the study demonstrates how Grasshopper can support an efficient design workflow by allowing complex roof geometries to be tested, compared, and refined in an integrated manner.
