parametric Ceiling_roof system




Ceiling panels mimic daylight conditions when sun penetrates the top surfaces of the trees creating limited sunlight. these panels would cast different shadows and refractions limiting the amount required sunlight in all galleries.
For the purpose of the parametric class , the renders show all glass above the panels to cast the majority of the shadows, but eventually there will be just a few locations where there is glass above allowing people from the top surface of the plaza to see inside through those panels as well as allowing sunlight in.
Some of the planes of the panels would continue their way up through the roof and then running horizontally about 2' of the ground forming benches for people to sit and enjoy the plaza.
