Dynamic Façade 03. Panel System


The panels are able to rotate through their pivots in x, y and z axes. The activation mechanism needs to be supported by a mechanical set up to be further investigated.

Dynamic Façade 02. Simulation

The sun path for the competition site is simulated thoughout the year to design the façade of the building.

Dynamic Façade 01. Unfold Elevation


The unfold elevation is developed for a competition project in Turkey. The intent is to generate a dynamic façade system which responds to the sunlight activity throughout the year. The calculations are undertaken at the simulation software Ecotect.  The façade which gets the most sunlight is densely patterned compared to the other ones. The time-based simulation of dynamic properties appear as emergent pattern on the façade. Series of parametric tools are performed at Autodesk Maya.
