Phase I:
- development of the mass in Grasshopper3d
- using Section Tools Plugin for Rhino3d  build a physical mass model for the future facade system
Phase II:
Kinetic facade element responding to the sun constraint.
Recreation of the element using Grasshopper3d and Rhino allowed performing environmental analysis in Ladybug and seeing a wide range of possibilities of the system, as well as fabrication difficulties and ways to solve the kinetic properties of the component. The evident complexity of the origami structure created specific conditions for each plane of the element which had to be solved as a network puzzle and respond to the inquiries of the environmental constraint.
 In process of work the façade element became the main design feature of the project and reappeared in different scales in the interior, landscaping, and furniture design elements of the project. It linked the whole network of fragmented parts into the whole system with the specific functions, scope, scale and hierarchy.
