Abstract
The concept of the project analyzed lays in its two main facades: made out of bricks, these show two variations of rotation. The first one takes into account some external curves that act as attractors, the other by rotating the bricks alternately by 45°.
Building Overview
This office building is placed in a residential area. This creates an unlikely mentality for residential neighbors in terms of the number of visitors as well as the aristocracy from the upper floors to residential buildings.
Hence, the most important parameters for the building were privacy and regulation of light; since the only sources of light were East and West due to the placement of the building.
To tackle these problems the architects used a brick grid to retain the traditional architecture using parametric geometry to manipulate the facade according to the user requirements.
The dynamic quality within the project has been achieved through the flexible design of outer shells for controlling light and visibility, and external to the location of the audience has created a variety of forms on the northern facade of the building that forms both inside and outside the project and It transforms it into a platform for contacting the city and the building.
