Solid Veneer

Abstract:

The main goal was to engage design strategies that would allow for the further manipula-tion 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, continu-ous 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.
