PATTERN BASED SYSTEMS


PATTERN BASED SYSTEMS

What is a pattern based curtain wall?

Its when you have created a form such as the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, and you want to create its large exterior surfaces on rivet.


You will use the pattern base method on your curtain wall, which does not have a core, where you create a pattern or grid on the form of the structure, then you will create a module which will be used on each separate panel to create the exterior look. One of the many purposes is to make the processes of design with patterns easier.

What does a pattern based curtain wall consist of?

A self-designed grid consist of divisions, mullions, and panels.

On the following websites are videos that shows how this process is done.
