The focus of the Assignment is to propose an architectural element at Mies van der Rohe pavilion by applying recursive growth systems.

Propagating Surfaces

Concept

To design a façade that controls the intensity of light  in the Barcelona pavilion.

Pseudo Code

Step 1 -Defining the space by drawing line where there is high intensity of light passes

Step 2 -Extruding surface from line

Step 3 – Dividing surfaces with hexagonal grid

Step 4 – Offsetting the surface

Step 5 – Scaling the surface and moving the scaled surface

Step 6 – Lofting between the extruded surface curve and the scaled surface curve

Step 7 – Repeating the process of scaling, moving and lofting with anemone for creating more iterations
