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.

Parametric Roof Truss:

The parametric roof truss can change according to the building floor radius. It also has truss division and height as parameters.

Parametric Truss Structure

The truss was created by drawing the base circle. The circle was divided into six parts. Then I joined the opposite end points of line segments through the top point to create three arcs. The three arcs, the base circle, and the circle located in the middle were then used to create the main structure.

Parametric Truss Component

Each truss component was created by dividing each line. Then I transfer each line in Z-axis. I joined the start point of each line segment of both lines to create the vertices.  I joined the start point of each line segment of one line with end point of each line segment of another line to create the diagonals. Then I applied steel cross section on every line.

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...
