Generative randomness — CHARLES STREET CAR PARK

Seemingly random pattern can be generated by a comprehensive computational logarithms. This multi story public parking space in Sheffield city centre has natural anodized aluminum panels on its external envelope. Each of the aluminum panel is manufactured from a single sheet of folded aluminum hung in four different orientations with a seemingly random rhythm. The gaps between the panels in four direction provides natural ventilation and creates a sense of sculpture for a box.
