Looking Outwards 03: Computational Fabrication
The most interesting point of this project is applying this kind of parametric designed panel to the building envelope. Also, the parametrically designed façade used for this building is not only for decoration purposes but also for the bad-air-busting. The form of the panel was first designed in CAD programs and created in the software called Rhino. Even though they didn’t mention a lot about the creation process, I suppose that they used grasshopper and BMI system so that the overall shape and form can vary according to the changing parameter. I think the most important characteristic that makes this project wonderful is that the impressive façade can also increase the surface area of the building, and it can bring more natural light into the building, which creates a better place for people inside. Also, having TiO2, which is an air-scrubbing material coated outside the surface, can maximize the effect of air purification when the sunlight gets stronger.
