Solid Veneer
Abstract: The main goal was to engage design strategies that would allow for the further manipulation of the building enclosure by assuming a thicken poche, one that will add a solid sense to the building mass. As a way of moving away from thin, continuous surfaces, we investigate techniques that deal with mass, volume, material and color. We implement very specific scripts that test the potential of carving mass, we start by using a particular code that produces five types of polygon packing, each packing system contains two or more polygon primitives to allow for variation. The code pack inside a used defined object, and after that we boolean the mass to allow for smooth and crystalline structures.
