The Delicate Ascent

A facade system module that was derived using computational methods, to create curvatures on a surface. To make a surface convey the idea of delicate, curvatures are introduced. To achieve this curvature, a modular system is developed that when assembled using the rules provided, will give various curve patterns on the facade. These modules are made with clay, hence optimised for a simple two step fabrication method using a clay extruder. Depending on the degree of curves required, various different module sets can be created to achieve the same effect.
