CASE STUDY FOR FACADE (Cellular Morphology Facade)
Cellular Morphology Façade' is a building skin system proposed by rat[LAB] at recently held '20 under 35' Exhibition in New
Delhi. A prototype was created to display the potentials of computational & parametric design on an installation scale. It is
designed to adapt to multiple climatic contexts and building conditions.
We recently learn a new tool in our minor classes, I want to incorporate an innovative facade system using grasshopper.
