The Co-ordinate Panel was designed following the principles of the robotic forming processes, implemented by the RoboFold team. Being inspired by new technology in manufacture and design, it was conceived the first day of the workshop and developed till the last day of it. The project was first presented in a draft paper model, then its folding process was simulated using Kangaroo plug-in in Grasshopper.
Finally the last day a 1:1 scale model of an array of the panels was built. It is composed of two identical parts which have three different screw places.
This allows a variety of sizes of the panel and a variety of light’s penetration. Summing up , this versatile size leads to a more flexible approach to facade’s design.
