ADMIRAL MALL

Description

The Admiral mall is located in the city of Nanning in south China. The mall being 10 years old needed a change of the entire facade. The client had a strange request of making the south facade look like a ship. This gave rise to the challenging facade which is made to look like a ship floating in water. The top of the facade is made up of reflective stainless panels and the bottom flowing water is made out of triangles of glass and aluminum . The rear part of the ship is made to look like it is disintegrating. The complex shape of the facade was designed and modelled by me in Rhino using a lot of grasshoper scripts. After the model was approved I generated the drawings using a mix of grasshopper scripts and manual projection drawing. After a certain stage the model was transfered to the facade company to generate the shop drawings and construct it.

My Role

My role in this project was the concept modelling of the facade and developing the grasshopper cript to generate the facade panelling and then making the basic facade paneling drawings
