Alternating Fins

Parametric facade framework for Rhino + Grasshopper

Staggered Vertical Fins
A single-skin facade system utilizing vertical fins arranged in a staggered, checkerboard configuration. Shorter fin profiles allow for the integration of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) along the horizontal spandrel bands concealing the floor slabs, whereas deeper fin extensions can be specified to deliver more effective passive shading.
