Complex freeform architectural enclosures are becoming increasingly popular and easy to model and design with the help of modern computational tools.
The wonder of nature is the abundance of unique forms she creates based on a few simple physical principles or laws. No two snowflakes are alike.
The Los Angeles Stadium’s doubly curved skin is composed of over 35,000 unique triangular panels covering 296,502 square feet of surface area. The
Precision in digital workflow is necessary to deliver facade projects where there is a high design aesthetic or structural performance requirement.
Facades must be responsive to a myriad of qualities and influences ranging from urban impact and aesthetic character to numerous performance
Daylighting is a key strategy to energy efficiency and improved occupant comfort, health, and productivity in buildings. However, providing desired
