// Scope of the Assignment

As part of the first assignment, this exercise focused on understanding the various computational strategies for designing a facade. Decoding the logic of an existing, complex facade systems; defining and analyzing the computational settlement behind them are mainly aimed.

The Bad Café, located in the suburb of Bandra West, in Mumbai designed by Nuru Karim (Nudes), is a three-story building with an outdoor terrace located on the deck, which contains a yoga studio, a commercial space, and a cafeteria.

// Project Description

The architectural component was designed so that activities are stacked vertically over three levels, including an open to sky terrace courtyard. The porous, perforated nature of the skin allows the project to breathe and ventilate thereby reinforcing the relationship between the inside and outside, between body and soul. External skin is made up of recycled pipe sections.

 // Pseudo Code

Step 1) Define a square grid and generate center points through the polygon center.

Step 2 ) Use Pull point to move center point towards end diagonal points.

Step 3) Define edge point, use list item and connect that to pull point.

Step 4) Move the edges in the Z direction and join points to generate a line.

Step 5) Use mirror command to complete geometry.

Step 6) Define the X, Y axis endpoints and double it to generate distance for an array

Step 7) Use Cylinder to define geometry, by utilizing the length and base point of the line.

 // Options

 //Grasshopper Code
