The Emerald: Facade Panelization
In this project, the exploration of innovative architectural techniques takes center stage as it delves into the realm of additive and subtractive methodologies to shape the final form of a multi-story building. With unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of design, the project relies solely on Grasshopper as the primary design software, harnessing its computational power to manifest bold ideas into tangible structures.
Taking the creative process to new heights, the project unfolds a captivating journey as it explores various paneling options to achieve the ideal modular panel for the building’s facade. Melding artistic expression with technical precision, the project delves into an array of possibilities, seeking the perfect arrangement that harmoniously adorns the structure. By incorporating random projections onto the facade, a touch of dynamism and novelty infuses the building’s aesthetic appeal, captivating onlookers with its ever-changing visual allure. Furthermore, the intelligent manipulation of panel scales based on specific criteria ensures a bespoke design that both intrigues and serves the building’s practical needs, leaving an indelible mark on the architectural landscape.

Formalism: Attractor Systems
In this project, attractor systems are explored in both 2D and 3D setting. In the 2D formalism, three types of attractor systems are utilized: single point, multi-point, and curve attractors. By experimenting with these systems, the aim is to understand their impact on the visual outcomes and artistic expressions. On the other hand, the 3D formalism involves a different approach. Here, a black and white image is employed as a guiding factor to determine the distance by which a simple circular curve is extruded. This process allows them to transform the 2D images into intriguing 3D shapes, adding depth and complexity to their artistic endeavors.
Throughout the project, the effects of various attractor systems are meticulously observed and documented. This investigation sheds light on the diverse possibilities and creative potential of attractors in generating unique visual representations. By employing sophisticated algorithms and innovative techniques, the aim is to push the boundaries of traditional art forms and create a new realm of captivating and visually striking artworks that blend the principles of mathematics and artistic design. This interdisiplinary exploration opens up new avenues for artists, mathematicians, and technologies alike, fostering a deeper understanding of attractor system’s artistic applications.
