The BeingAliveLanguage plugin for Grasshopper implements a set of tools using the definition for translating and visualizing soil related information created by Chair of Being Alive.
This software allows the user to quickly create various diagramic visualizations of soil information, such as soil water content, soil-root interaction, soil horizon.
The tool serves for both the landscape design field and environment/agriculture related fields, hoping to support various decision-making processes when the end-users are provided with complex information.
For more background info, please visit the description of the translation language system: Drawing Language.
