Most sun shadings are designed for flat straight facades and roofs. In this project, we were challenged to design and develop a sun shading system that would be able to adaptively block the sun on double curved surfaces. For this project we decided to implement our concept in the Zurich Elephant House. The developed design consists of triangular origami shaped irregular triangle fabrics, that cover the irregular ETFE windows system in this project.
To prove the concept, we built a prototype on scale 1:2 and 1:8. Within two weeks we were able to develop this project. The box model was first drawn using Rhino and Fusion 360. Smaller elements of the box were 3D printed and others made using wooden panels.
To find the optimal shape movement, a Python script was made based on the mathematical concept of tetrahedron corner movements. This Python script was implemented in Grasshopper to make a sun light analyses and animate the 3D model.

Additional Information
The minor Spatial Computing was my first experience with real optimization based on shortest-path algorithms, dynamic space agents and linear algebra. Our assignment was based on an existing building block in the city center of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. By generating a voxel cloud and analyzing numerical values like sunlight, noise and a program of requirements, we were able to generate a building based on ideal positions for each function.
For this project, we used Houdini and the programming language SideFX, C++ and Python. Within the group, I was responsible for the dynamic placement of the program functions. After completing this minor, I rebuilt the A-start path finding algorithm to a Grasshopper implementation, to use in future projects. The final renders were made using Rhino and Lumion.

Additional Information
MEGA is a course designed to work together in a team, and develop a skyscraper in a complex environment. Each team member is assigned a specific role which corresponds to his/her interests in the field of Architecture and Building Technology. My personal role was computational designer. I was assigned with the task to develop several algorithms and simulation models to further analyse and enhance the design of other group members. Furthermore, me and my computational teammate were responsible for the computational workflow in the team. At the end of the project, we were awarded with the prize for most innovative computational workflow, by White Lioness, IGG Bouweconomie and Packhunt.io, mostly for our implementation of Github and Hops in our Rhino - Grasshopper - Speckle workflow.
For this project I had several specific responsibilities: computational workflow, function placement optimization, climate analyses, crowd simulation for fire situations, computational workflow, rendering (both image and video) and VR.
