As a result of the parametric loop, new relationships between building units arise. As the field condition shifts from an urban pattern to a more typical suburban one, the initial building pair (1 with 2) dissolves, and a new pair (2 with 3) becomes the standard. Along with this new pairing, a gradient of building condition subsets

emerges as well.

SUBSET 1

AUXILIARY WINDOW SHIFT DIAGRAM

The diagram illustrates the pattern of movement of the auxiliary windows of the first building, which move as a result of the single window that faces the second building. These windows spiral along the facade and move upwards towards the third floor. The final building condition in the

SUBSET 2

parametric loop results in a completely windowless entrance facade of the first building. Below, the penultimate condition in the parametric loop can be seen.

SUBSET 3

The topography follows a sinusoidal pattern, which begin at grade level, and where the second

SUBSET 4

floor deck serves as a peak datum point. When necessary, entrances to the buildings are dug out of the topography, creating another level of variance in the field condition.
