Revit

The first step to design the panel was creat a new family     METRIC WALL PANEL (in this new family I created the component of the single panel of the future facade) - OPEN ( I saved this file and I gave to it a name).

I created the surface of the panel with the command REFERNCE LINE but be attentio tha you creat this surface in the front elevation

Per questa consegna è stato creato un COMPONENTE DI FACCIATA. Vediamo come:

For this delivery, it was created a FACADE COMPONENT. Let's see how:

• Pannello - The Panel

​Apro una nuova Famiglia>METRIC CURTAIN WALL PANEL,

​I Create a new Family>METRIC CURTAIN WALL PANEL,

In this delivery we were asked to design a curtain wall. I decided to design a faced similar to the one in the headline picture. Since I'm designing a facade is important to understand the solar radiation that the facade recives; I tried to parametrize where possible so that the facade could variate according to which facade we are designing.

PART 1: The Family

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

This year, just a week ago, I had the opportunity to present the RhOME for denCity project at the Autodesk Idol, an event within the Autodesk University in Las Vegas.
RhOME, by Roma Tre University, participated to the Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 in France, and actually won the international contest, for the happiness of all of us who worked several months, and several nights, at the project, and for the pride of the entire University, and Country.
