Arch 653_Project 2_30 St Mary Axe

1. Project 1 Update

In the Conceptual model, I created two types of curtain wall system using the duplicate option under the curtain wall 1 panel to distinguish the colors of the curtain wall panel.

Here is a update Rendering:

2. Project_2 Using VISUAL PROGRAMMING: DYNAMO

First, because of complexity of the shape and the curtain wall system, I simplified the curtain wall panel to make it relatively flat, so it will simplify the problem in dynamo.

2.1  Adjusting RGB colors Manually

Figure 3

RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue, those are the basic components to compose the colors. Link the two types of curtain wall to the RGB colors are able changing the colors of the facade. Here is some examples:

2. 1 Adjusting Colors According to the sun

Figure 6

The color will display in different colors according to the values of the angles of the sun and the normal of the facade panel. The larger of the angle, the more green color will display on the panel. On the contrary, the smaller of the angle, the more red color( making more purple) will display on the panel.

Lastly, I want to thank to Professor Wei, who provides me with the great learning experience of Building Information Modeling.
