Assignment 2

Further develop you case study model in Rhino. Zoom in on facade details and building structure. Critically analyze the current state of your studio project. Using a combination Rhino technics model structural systems and facades surfaces for your key study. Coherent structure and facade should merge into its geometry, optimally exploit the potential and structural advantages of an initial form as well as provide integration of all parts. Identify dependencies relationships and hierarchies, build your model according to this dependencies.

Please submit the final Rhino file (.3dm) to Gdrive by next Monday at midnight.
