PROJECT ENVELOPE
Parametric design
Advertisement
In this way I was able to conceive, using parametric design, an envelope with piercings that vary according to the exposure to the sun. To do this, I first subdivided the surface into several slabs that correspond to the size of my cladding panels, and then I varied the openings according to their position in relation to the sun, i.e. the closer the panel is to the sun, the smaller the opening.
The different sections show the different moments in which users find themselves as they go through this envelope. Thus giving the feeling of being inside at one moment and outside at another. Protecting from sunlight in the west due to a tight mesh and open in the north, east and partially in the south due to a loose mesh.
This envelope consists of diamond-shaped ceramic plates with 60cm sides circumscribed in a 60x30cm rectangle, resting on a metal grid, which in turn rests on steel profiles. The choice of ceramic is made thanks to these innumerable virtues. Ecological ; made of natural materials (clay and water) this material is environmentally friendly. Thermal : as an inert material, it does not emit heat and adapts best to even extreme climatic conditions.
