Undulating Deep Frames
A facade system defined by an orthogonal grid of deep frames. The frame depth varies following an undulating geometry that introduces dynamic movement across the building envelope. The projecting elements provide effective passive shading.

Setup guide

  1. Download the .GH Framework script.

  2. Open Rhino 8, launch Grasshopper, and open the script.

  3. Assign the name GH_Facet Facade to the surface or polysurface you want to apply the facade to. (Under Properties: Object > Name)
