Designing Dynamics: Voronoi Tessellation Facade Exploration

Introduction:

Building on the progress of Part III, this phase delves into the realm of #facadedesign, employing a Voronoi Tessellation pattern adorning the building's surfaces with adaptive components. While the journey was challenging, a combination of thorough research, perusal of blogs, YouTube tutorials, and delving into Dynamo's library archives led me to the knowledge needed to weave together this intricate, organic-inspired facade.

Decoding Tessellation:

Below, you'll find the code that brings tessellation to life, orchestrating the placement of adaptive components tailored to each unique instance. An intriguing development occurred in preparation for Part V's solar study. All codes, whether self-written or sourced, necessitated the creation of a plane from three points, with the dot product acting as the yardstick. This comparison, between the natural vectors formed by every trio of points per instance and the sun, determines the degree of sun exposure. This insight fuels parameters that drive #kineticfacade designs, influencing the morphing of features like louvers or creases based on orientation and angle. It's a dynamic system, optimizing solar management by regulating glare and radiation, ultimately lightening mechanical loads and reducing ambient temperature.

A Glimpse of the Future:

Here, you catch a glimpse of what the final design might entail. To facilitate the solar study's success, a third point was strategically added. The pattern populated seamlessly, and the solar study unfolded, a testament to thinking outside the box. While the rendering process was arduous, I watched with bated breath, half-expecting a crash. To my relief, it held steady, further solidifying the viability of this innovative approach.

In Conclusion:

This phase marks a significant stride toward a dynamic and intelligent facade. The fusion of tessellation and solar optimization represents a promising leap towards efficiency and sustainability in architectural design.
