OBJECTIVES:

This exercise was inspired by UN Studio’s project Lane 189 in Shanghai. The main aim was to replicate the hexagonal parametric facade, its grid and provide panels that follow a certain repetitive pattern. The following were kept in mind while computing:

  • to understand the grid pattern
  • to figure out a method of eliminating panels based on certain parameters

 

RESULT:

 

 

PSEUDO CODE:

  •  Construct Hexagonal grid of two scales
  • Rotate and move the grids to get required pattern overlap
  • Explode the hexagons into their individual edges
  • List and merge the appropriate edges
  • Loft the curves
  • Cull the surfaces with reference to the distance from points
  • Pipe the required hexagonal grid
  • Bake required surfaces

 

GRASSHOPPER CODE:

VARIATIONS:

  • by changing the distance between the attractor points and the lofted surfaces
  • by rotating/moving the hexagonal grids
  • my lofting different surfaces
