In this post I’ll try to explain how I faced the residential project for the Ligini’s tower.
I was assigned to the third floor of the Ligini’s tower A.
The main issue for me was to divide the floor in order to obtain apartments suitable for the real estate market. So the apartments I tried to obtained are not too big and not too small.
Hi,
here is my first design for the Ligini's tower (third floor, tower A). I'm now focusing on the facade, and in these days I developed this idea of a fragmentary facade based on the triangular type module. Each module can rotate 90°, so I thought this could be helpful in several conditions of sun radiation, expecially for the west and east side. The space between the edge of the walls and the edge of the ceiling is about 1m, so the panel's movement is thought to be outside this space in order to use it.
In this post I tried to reproduce a curtain wall facade inspired by the one realised by Herzog and De Meuron in their M. H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco.
As I know, the workflow they used to get this amazing result was longer and more refined than mine. The reason why I let myself be inspired by this project is because I found interesting the relationship between the diameter variation of the holes and the shade they provide inside.
So, I can start immediately to show my workflow.
PERFORATED PANEL
In this third delivery I continued to develop the facade previously analysed following advices given in the last post. I added nodes to the main steel structure in order to simulate the constructive process in a better way. Furthermore, I put the triangular modules in with the shading system which fits with the solar radiation on the facade. As I already said in the previous post, this facade was carried out for the laboratorio 2M project. The main will was to adapt the shading system to the solar radiation registered on the facade.
In this second post I wanted to examine how to assemble a facade through the study of a base module that varies depending on solar radiation.
This facade was thought for the project carried out in the course of Laboratorio 2M. Now, in Laboratorio3M, the development of this casing is ongoing.
The main concept of the facade was to create a surface that could change according to the solar incidence on it. It is oriented south-west. At that time, we don’t knew how to use Revit or any software which could help us to control it to suit this parameter.
