FACADE SUBDIVISION

Still in the process of working out the qualities within the flats, I have begun to look closer into the facade system. Based on the surface formed between the structures, the facade will be further subdivided by mullions which will support the glazings. As there are two types of surfaces present, there will be two different kinds of patterns based on the materiality of glass. Rectangular glass planes for flat surfaces (indicated blue) and Triangulated planes for curved surfaces (indicated in rainbow with red curving the most).

Anyone knows the right tool to subdivide a surface into standardized geometry??

For example make a grid (or what you need) and project it into your surface, then split your surface.

Hey,

If by subdivide you breaking it up; I would draw in 2D the pattern you want and project it onto the surface. Otherwise you can extract iso crvs a split, but if you are goint to triangulate might be a bit tricky. Hope that helps.
