Educated randomness

This is a model for the facade in the vertical part (that will gradually dissolve in the twist). It contains the frames for the ETFE elements. The articulation of the facade can be tested with this model. It is possible to make an amount of predefined columns, the vertical configuration (in excel), out of which grasshopper generates a random looking system. It follows the curvature of the envelope that can easily be assigned out of rhino (or directly out of grasshopper of course). The open spaces are placed at the height of the walkarounds.

This model gives us the opportunity of testing different visuals, being able to make quick changes in the relation between facade and what is underneath it because it reads directly from excel.
