Dynamo Study 4 - Facade Rationalization

This article is from my last course before the thesis (unfortunately turkish).

Freeform Surface Panelling

    This was a ceiling modelling study that I worked on in the office. The ceiling has double curvature surface which is bending from facade to ceiling and ceiling to facade. Also the designer wanted to have the surface covered with hollow round modules. Then I started looking for computational solutions in grasshopper.

    There was only one constrain and that was to keep the surface of the ceiling (the freeform shape). Panelling algorithm changes in each material and each fabrication method. We needed an optimisation strategy to find an easy production and implementation method. Budget was also an important factor (as usual  :).

    I searched many materials, many connection details, many construction methods and many surface partition algorithms to be able to build this ceiling.

    The research period was informative for me. You can find some applied panelling examples and related partition algorithm that I tried below. 

Thank you for reading.
