SKIN DEEP

The project utilizes the fundamentals of computer programming in the creative fields of arts and architecture, leading to the idea of generative design systems. The main objective is to explore the potential of computational tools to solve specific problems, while unleashing their creative power. The basic constructs of programming are utilized through visual and textual programming languages, such as Rhino Python in order to develop computation with forms. Parametric design, procedural modeling, rule-based design, and other paradigms borrowed from computer science are used to generate a modular building facade that ‘open and close’ with changing humidity levels.
