The design procedure needs to be constantly evaluated and controlled. The feedback that is received is crucial for the on-going process.
At this stage the architect is elaborating the floorplans in order to accomodate the functions, and is collaborating with the structural engineer and the cladding manager for the final outcome.
The cladding is now formulated at the base of a component which will fit a performance oriented design, as stated in the initial fase.
The hexagon has been selected as optimal, in terms of economy (saving material), architectural effect and sustainable performance. The hexagons will create the inlets and outlets of the air, clad the major part of the facade and formulate a moving component which will react to the velocity and direction of the prevailing wind. A shaft will then drive the wind through the openings into the building and release it at the highest point of the roof.
The calculation of the volume and cross-section areas through Rhino facilitate the design of the wind path.
The structure is following the layers and is translating the two-part concept into two basic construction areas. Parametric design and GSA are being used for the basic shapes and the calculations.
