Design Process The design is guided by the metamorphosis of a butterfly. We focus on the larvae that hosts the butterfly (caterpillar at this stage) and the wings of the butterfly. Like how a flower blooms, the larvae finally breaks for the caterpillar to grow. This ‘Blooming’ process is done with the assistance of hexagon shapes The pattern established stems from the larvae and hexagons introduced to assist in the formation of blooming like panels. This is done through manual and computational developments.

The Panel The panel designed lets light in through rotation. This is done by a vertical and side to side movement. Here are shadow studies done with the proposed facade:
9:00 a.m
12:00 noon
3:00 p.m
6:00 p.m
Radiation Analysis These are the results of the radiation analysis done on the original and the proposed facade model. The proposed facade shows a decrease in light intensity
