Looking at a variety of different organic motions and kinetic facades, our group was inspired by the ripple effect caused by a drop of water.

We enjoyed the almost reptilian look of the layered panels so we wanted to integrate a similar aesthetic.
Through experimentation with scripting, we were able to accomplish such an effect with several different panels moving in reference to a sine curve.
