Concave Waves

Parametric facade framework for Rhino + Grasshopper

Concave Panel System
A single-skin facade system made of concave panels with a central glazed aperture. The framework creates a rhythmic, wave-like exterior. The sculpted elements can be realized in either metal or precast concrete and provide partial passive shading through its depth. The alternating layout of aperture and panel leads to a low window-to-wall ratio (<40%).
