This study focuses on the intricate relationship between hand kinematics, environment design, hold creation, and gym architecture, aiming to bridge human movement with functional and aesthetic climbing spaces. Using ZBrush as a core tool, detailed models of hand poses were crafted to analyze grip dynamics and the interaction between the hand and various hold designs. The organic modeling capabilities of ZBrush allowed for the creation of intricate, customized climbing holds, ensuring ergonomic compatibility and a natural integration into the environment. This process not only enhanced the aesthetic and functional aspects of the holds but also informed the broader gym design by aligning it with the physical and biomechanical needs of climbers.
