The goal of Project 1 was to recreate a structure while embedding into it parameters that can be used to easily adjust massing. After creating this parametric structure we added a façade that could be also be manipulated. The façade for project 1 was not required to be functional, but rather to show conceptual knowledge of parametric modeling in Revit. The following project follows this criteria, utilizing several methods and tools of parametric modeling learned in the class.

Building
The Feitag Store in Zurich, Switzerland was the reference for this building. The building is composed of recycled shipping containers stacked to form a tower structure. The height, as well as units width of the structure, is manipulated in the model though a "size_factor" variable. By changing this parameter, the horizontal array of the container units is controlled.
Façade
The façade was a conceptual mass of spherical objects fixed around a central node. The inspiration for this was a painting displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in Denver, Colorado. The dots get smaller as they reach the edges of the panel adding an emphasized perspective to the overall form. The curvature of the façade is based on its elevation and its overall "puffiness" can be changed with one parameter linking several elements in the façade's underlying structure.
