01 / The workflowDifferent materials. Shared context.

Let one thought
lead to another.

01
Bring it in.
Collect PDFs, images, videos, and notes. Put the useful pieces where you can see them.
02
Think it through.
Connect ideas. Ask AI with the material you select. Keep the answer beside what informed it.
03
Make something.
Develop a draft, a visual direction, or your next experiment. The research stays close.

Ask, collect, connect. See the pieces come together in a short look at the workspace.

A 21-second loop of the PlansFlow workspace. A drone research project fills the canvas. A question asked with Web Search returns an answer with videos and six sources; the answer and its sources are added to the canvas as blocks; a video is dragged beside them and its connection follows; Fit all zooms out to the whole project.

Biophilic design at C8

How can a monumental concrete building connect people with nature every day?

biophilic design benefits in large buildings

Biophilic design connects occupied spaces to nature through views, daylight and planting. Research links nature views with lower stress and improved attention.¹

At C8, put those connections into the architecture: a planted atrium, shaded terraces and a green roof. Natural materials add a tactile layer.²

Green roofs can reduce heat transfer, slow runoff and provide habitat.

C8 design walkthroughC8 / Concept study

02Understand

The principle: nature is part of the architecture.

Bring daylight and views into the plan. Put planting where people move and pause. Engineer terraces and roof systems so the landscape can thrive for years.

01Frame

C8 concrete terraces framing views of trees

Make nature visible.

Orient occupied floors to planted views; shade the glass to control glare.

More glazing is not always better. Model glare and solar heat gain by facade.

02Grow

Deep planting and usable terraces in the C8 facade

Make the terraces usable.

Place deep planters and shared gardens where people can spend time outdoors.

Trees and saturated soil add load. Design structure, waterproofing, drainage and irrigation together.

03Feel

C8's tactile concrete atrium with planting and natural light

Keep concrete expressive.

Use timber, stone and planted edges where people sit, meet and move.

WELL, Biophilia I

Planting is a living system. Confirm water, maintenance access and responsibility before tender.

03Build

C8 — a living structure

Concept: monumental concrete C8 building with planted terraces and shaded glazing

Concept: top-down architectural blueprint of a C8 terrace and circulation floor

Concept: planted interior courtyard at C8

Concept images show design intent, not an engineered scheme.

Structure, enclosure and operations need project review.

How should a piece cross the board, and what stops it?

Concept art, detail: the Knight on its square, copper pieces behind and slate pieces ahead

Stay on the grid.

Pieces step from square to square; only the walk between squares is animated. An occupied square blocks the path.

Study this demo before tuning movement.

Its GameBoard flood-fills the cells a unit can reach and skips occupied ones. Paths come from AStarGrid2D.

GitHub - gdquest-demos/godot-2d-tactical-rpg-movement: Grid-based movement for a Tactical RPGgithub.com

Its grid is square. Our board is isometric.

Keep the board logic; replace the cell-to-pixel math.

board.md

## Cell → screen, 64 × 32 px tiles
```gdscript
func to_screen(c: Vector2i) -> Vector2:
    return Vector2((c.x - c.y) * 32,
                   (c.x + c.y) * 16)
```
Draw order: sort by c.x + c.y

Squares are about 24 pt tall on a phone.

With eight across a 390 pt screen, that is under Apple’s 28 pt minimum. Tap the piece, then confirm the square.

04 / The project folder

Your canvas,
in a folder.

Download a project as one organized folder. Keep working with it in Claude, Codex, Cursor or any tool that reads files: as a new project, or as part of one you already have.

A project on the canvas becomes a folder on your computer. On the canvas: a heading, a note, an image, a Markdown block, a link card, a saved conversation and three tasks, one completed, one in progress and one to do. Each has a line into a folder named Ember Gambit, which holds 10 files in 7 folders, starting with START HERE.md.

05 / Wherever you work

Start in PlansFlow.
Continue anywhere.

Build the context once. Take it to the tools you already use.

The project folder, with a line from it to each of fourteen tools you can keep working in: assistants, code tools and app builders.
