3. Reconstruct the polygon mesh After the organic massing test, all of the curved faces need to be planarized for the Quad-remesh the shape construction. Thus, Kangaroo is used for target face count = 1200 (≈ 2m x 2m) planarization.
Based on the massing test and spatial plan, the structure aims to create a space for circulation and gathering. Karamba is used for displacement simulation.
As the structure is one of the feature of the design and it affect the function, the facade is not only indicating the structure inside but also introduce enough sunlight for the indoor classrooms. The design proposes to keep the historical wall with its current location and protect with the hexagon panels.
