This Grasshopper based design reinterprets the kinetic panel system of the Media-TIC façade by Enric Ruiz Geli. Inspired by its triangulated geometry and responsive membrane logic, the proposed system explores a dynamic, articulated surface capable of adapting to light, shade, and visibility needs.
The parametric model defines a modular kinetic unit, driven by user inputs and geometric logic, simulating real-time transformation across the façade. This approach enables advanced control over actuation, panel behavior, and spatial depth supporting both aesthetic performance and environmental responsiveness in contemporary façade design.
PROCESS DIAGRAM
The process begins with simple rectilinear volumes arranged in a modular layout. Gradually, corner conditions are softened through curvature operations, and strategic voids are introduced to enhance permeability and circulation.
The design further evolves by applying surface manipulation techniques, resulting in a more fluid, responsive geometry that reflects spatial hierarchies and potential facade interventions. This process aims to balance rational massing with sculptural articulation, offering both structural clarity and architectural expression.
