This assignment analyzes an existing parametric facade system and decodes that facade using computational tools.

The facade analyzed is the Broad Museum, in Los Angeles USA designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in 2015.

Strategy: Two approaches were derived to generate a parametric facade and various modules.

1.) Create a box morph that could multiply a lofted module over any surface.

2.) Create a box morph that could multiply a lofted module over any surface and react to attractor point.

Parametric Facade: Parametric Facade: Attractor Point + Box Morph.

Grasshopper Script: Attractor Point + Box Morph

Grasshopper Script: Lofted Module + Box Morph 

This exercise is part of the first assignment for the computational design studio SO.03

Faculty: Rodrigo Aguirre and Aldo Sollazzo.
