Brief: The main task of this exercise is to decode the logic of complex facade systems, analyzing and defining the computational process behind them. With this logic thought out students will propose several configurations that reflect the parametrization of the building skin. This exercise aims to train students in setting up a proper computational strategy, approaching the complex design proposals of such facades through a series of simple steps.
