Noon Pavilion
Noon Pavilion is a discrete 3d printed povilion designed by Studio Musab for the Engeneering Creatives Expo in Saudi Arabia. Given the fabrication method, the very tight scheduale and the complexity of the concept design I was approched by Studio Musab to take the concept design and create a fully parametric model to bridge the gap between the renderings and fabrication constranints. Although the concept was there, the actual sizes and shapes where not fully lucked in and there were on flux. So I made a parametric model that privides a wide range of control for the designers and at the same time outputs modules ready for 3d print and assembly though a feedback loop. The design team could control the overall form by inouting the two main curves of the edges of the povilion and number of rows and columns. They could go even deeper by inputing the cross sections of the module when then would be morphed into the shell. The parametric model then gets the designer’s inputs and adjust them to follow the 3d printing contraints like planar caps for all of the modules. After populating the module accross the surface, it creates cavities for the structural elements, numbers and tags the modules and arrays them on the ground plane ready to be sliced for 3d printing.
