Our project explores a computationally designed facade developed using Grasshopper. The design features a curved surface with an asymmetric opening with multiple panels which transform with the motion of the wind.

Main Concept

The intricate pattern, colors and shimmer revealed in macro images of butterfly and moth wings inspired our facade. We wanted to translate the delicate folds into a dynamic design.

Iterations

Our iterations evolved from flat panels to a single undulated surface and then to a curved surface with panels following the shape.
