Architecture 202: Panel Design

This panel study explores the adaptive flexibility necessary for the given product to fit within the context of numerous spatial scenarios

Early studies of stable interlocking unit formations

Evolving shapes of expandable components

Each iteration is arranged in a diagonal pattern composing the fundamental panel design to accentuate the dynamic, wave-like quality of the panel’s textured façade

malleability Studies

Full scale carbon steel component expansion study

Scaled panel design and lateral wave profiles

Stemming from variations of a sound wave, each side of the panel features a specific amplitude, animated by the speed at which a viewer walks alongside the façade
