2. Modeling Process
1. Build Massing Model
I built the massing model in the Conceptual Mass by using reference lines and circles. Additionally, I set up the parameters for the height of the tower, the height of the antenna and the radius of the circle. The following figure shows the mass model I built and the parameters in the mass model.
By changing the parameters, the form of the building could be changed.
2. Parametric Curtain Panel for the Mass Model
By using the template of Curtain Panel Pattern Based, two parametric curtain panel are created. In these two families, the material and size are changed by the parameter,
