Delivery 4

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:

​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

Ciao! 

For this delivery I designed a facade, which has two different panels. The first panel is a standard wall panel which I could imagine in wood. First I opened the file Metric Curtain Wall Panel and Metric Generic Model floor based.
