Rhino Sketches for panel

some more panel studies from Adrian:

 

Physical Modeling

These are some physical model studies Adrian has been doing to develop the panel shapes, and to see what the cut metal shape will look like before bending.

So it seems like theres some precedents to what we’re trying to do.  their website has a lot of images, which is where all of these came from: http://www.milgo-bufkin.com/index.html

 

 

Another FOA project- Birmingham Train Station

UN Studio project- 5 Franklin Place

This forthcoming project in New York by UN Studio is reminiscent of our own metal bending…

Panel Flip

plan view

this is an idea we’ve been working with to make the panels reversible; this way, the glass pane would alternate from being recessed back or projecting forward.  This could lead to more dramatic undulations in the facade, and interesting reflections since the glass will not be all in the same plane.

Sergio’s Form Studies

There are 2 versions here: 1 with identical panels in a repeating array, and another with varying panel shapes. The panels could also flip so that they alternate facing in or out, thus projecting or receding the glass pane of the window.
