“Japanese design group Amano has followed up Dear Ginza, a nine-story commercial block with a faceted aluminum facade resembling a crumpled sweet wrapper, with Dear Jingumae, which is smaller scale but has an equally dramatic facade.
(…)
‘We aimed at a design with a soft expression that would be favorably accepted by passers-by, while standing out from the surrounding buildings that tend to have physically hard expressions,’ said Amano.”

Grasshopper code is a basis for creating the variation of the existing facade.
PSEUDOCOE
- Create a Curve
- Divide the curve
- Duplicate the points and distribute vertically
- Move the points using the wave function ;
- Shift the waves
- Create guiding curves vertically and horizontally
- Create the surface 1 form curves. Contour the surface 1
- Extrude the division
- Create the surface2 from the divisions
- Deconstruct the brep (x2) from surface 1
- Create the curve by listing the first edge
- Create the curve by listing the third edge
- Shift one of the lists
- Construct a pipe between each two points
- Deconstruct the brep (x2) from surface 1 once again
- Shift the other list
- Construct a pipe between each two points
Facade designed by group Amano was an inspiration for exploring a parametric design world.
