ARCH 655- Final Project
Wall of Energy parametric modeling Arch655 The Wall of Energy is a 63-metre long, 4- 6 meter height street façade enclosing the new energy center. The glazed ceramic tiles reflect light and movement from the clouds in the sky, and the hustle and bustle of pedestrians and cars on the streets. The tessellated interlocking lozenge tile pattern evokes the dynamic energy of earth’s movements, as seen in patterns left in the sand by ocean waves. The 31 different tile types produce undulations that increase in height, across a total of 1373 tiles. Contained within a structure inspired by nature, the technological working of the new energy center hall can be viewed through a long ribbon window. Modeling Process Step 1: I started by dividing a curve into evenly spaced points using a slider to control the number of divisions. Then, I dispatched these points into two separate lists, creating an alternating pattern. To add variation, I applied a transformation by moving the points...
