CREATIVE PROCESS
The façade is conceived as a textile surface caught mid-movement, as if a piece of fabric were lifted by the wind and suspended in time. Waves, folds, and subtle curvature translate the softness of cloth into a controlled architectural geometry. This fluid motion becomes the organizing logic of the elevation, producing a rhythm of peaks and troughs that modulate light, shadow, and transparency. The building becomes a frozen breeze an envelope shaped not by rigid lines but by the natural choreography of wind acting on fabric.
TECHNIQUE
The façade is a dynamic, kinetic system composed of wave-based panels whose curvature shifts throughout the day. Its movement follows a sine curve along the x-axis, generating varying amplitudes and continuous flowing motion across the entire surface.
CREATION PROCESS
LOGIC
- A rectangle was created and transformed into a surface using points joined by lines and then loft , with the dimensions of the selected block, 22.50 m x 30.00 m.
- Then, on this rectangular surface, the facade was created using a series of points joined by interpolate,
- which allows us to create different curves and then generate a surface using Loft.
FAÇADE COMPONENTS
Closed
Semi-Open
During daylight hours, the panels open to regulate light, airflow, and heat gain, shifting in controlled motions that optimize environmental performance. As night approaches, the system transitions into a fully closed position, locking the layers into a compact, secure configuration that protects the building while maintaining the fluid architectural expression.
