Concept:

- Our inspiration for this idea came from biology, in specific, the undulating surface of scaled fish skin.

- The geometry for the panel breaks from the repetitive nature of real fish scales by introducing a point of distortion.

- The strategies used to achieve this effect were parallel and radial paths.

- The radial strategy emphasizes this point of distortion by breaking the ordered linearity achieved through the parallel strategy.

- In order to achieve the desired undulating form that we were after, we considered and utilized the maximum depth that we could mill.

The radiation levels of the ground surface plane were generated by using an analysis grid. The analysis grid was adjusted and fit to the XY axis and around the ground plane. Once the analysis grid was correctly adjusted and fitted, the radiation levels were then calculated and generated from the solar access analysis option under the menu bar.
