Location: Germany

Architect: Peter Zumthor

Building Mass:

The building mass was created by using solids and voids. It was difficult to control void using parameter. I wanted the profile of the roof to remain the same. So I created one equation for each height to maintain the overall profile of the roof and sure the height does not go beyond a certain point.

H1= if(height_increase_1 > 0', height_increase_1 + height, height)

Envelope Pattern:

The original building had perforated bricks. I faced a lot of issues with perforated brick pattern because it overloads Revit. I was unsuccessful to load that pattern my building. So, I changed the street facing façade of the building.

I started with a 4-point adaptive circle to create the hole in my pattern.

Then I made the pattern that has Hole Offset, Panel height and Hole Height as parameters.

Adaptive Envelope :

I used the front façade as the adaptive envelope. It changes the height maintaining the similar profile of the mass.

Parametric Window:

I made a parametric window, that has height, width, frame thickness, position of inner frame, inner frame thickness as parameters.

Challenges:

1.     The adaptive panel does not work for all length and width. When it creates some extra parts, I could not remove it.



 

2.     I created the mass using solid and void. It difficult to control the voids and use parametric values to manipulate the shape.

 

 

3.      Brick parametric adaptive wall does not work. It overloads Revit and Revit stops responding.

Project 1 Cytokinesis Tower The Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio's project, "Cytokinesis," planned for Doha. My design intent is to create a façade that rotates according to altitude and azimuth angle of sun path diagram.        Form Creation 1.      I created a circle and made a series of circles using a curved scale using Graph Mapper. Then I used Evaluate Curve function and Shatter node to segment the curves.                2.      I used Loft to create outer and inner surfaces. Then I made perforated surfaces using Split Brep Multiple node.           3.      Then I joined the Items using Brep Join I used Weaverbird’s Laplacian Smoothing to join the surfaces seamlessly. Then I used Triremesh to create equilateral triangles.            ...

Cytokinesis Tower The Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio's project, "Cytokinesis," planned for Doha. My design intent is to create a façade that rotates according to altitude and azimuth angle of sun path diagram. This is a continuation of Project 1. I used LadyBug plugin to get azimuth angle and altitude angle of a certain location. Here I picked a location in Texas. I used azimuth angle and altitude angle to determine the opening of the surface.     I divided the outer mesh into multiple surfaces. Then changed the surface openings according to my script. I picked the daytime hours in March to visualize the surfaces. The value of the angles is taken every hour.  We can get the 12 values of azimuth angle and altitude angle. If we look at the graph of azimuth angle and altitude angle, we will notice that altitude angle rises and declines but the azimuth angle increases. During midday when the azimuth angle is 180-degree sun’s ray is strongest. S...

  ARCH 653 Project 2 Building Information Presidio Modelo, Cuba Former Prison,  Present Museum Image 1: Presidio Modelo   Parametric Façade: I created a parametric façade that changes the size of the openings according to the sun’s location. At first, I created a parametric adaptive panel family with a rectangular parametric opening in Revit without using Dynamo.     Image 2: Adaptive Panel I chose an element from the mass model to apply the adaptive panel. I used LunchBox package in Dynamo to divide and apply the panel. I created the surface normal for each segment face of the mass. I imported the adaptive component in project file to add it to Dynamo. I used Sun Setting to get the sun angle. I mapped the parametric value of the panel according to the sun angle. The panel works for South side of the building.
