In today's post, we discuss parametric design and how multiple parameters can be driven at one time per instance via careful list manipulation and data managing. This week we are discussing Object-Oriented Parametrically Controlled Panels and how powerful they are.
These panels are capable of providing more shade or less depending on areas of function and or weather conditions. They also have two shapes that were mapped to give more light in two spots for public areas and halls.
This is part of my #parametricdesignseries and will be part of my #kineticfacadeseries.
The individual instances have 4 directions with which they can change their shapes. Thus they can create the desired shade in certain areas and light in others. This will provide a balance of indirect sunlight with no glare and reduced solar gains. Allowing 80 % more natural sunlight, more productivity through relaxation resulting in reduced energy costs, a reduced carbon footprint, and a happier workforce.
The fabric and carbon tensile partitions, which are all driven by #dynamo and #parametricdesign via #revitbim, are designed to be light yet durable using synthetic composites.
As part of my #parametricfacadedesign, it was a great experience to create multiple designs and find out how to best control the mathematical mapping functions in this case with a sun azimuth parameter to track the sun and reduce excess lighting.

I enjoyed this project and look forward to the next one. Ciao
