Breathing Pavillion is a project generated for the Computational Design course at MAA01. The responsive facade is generated by a hexagonal grid, which is being extruded to a circle and then twisted. The size of the circle and the angle of twist change according to an attractor curve, affecting the amount of light and shape of shadows inside the pavillion.

Process

The tools used to generate the facade and animation were Grasshopper, Weaverbird and Horster

Breathing Pavillion is a project of IaaC, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia developed at Master in Advanced Architecture 2017, during the SO.3 – Computational Design course by:
