Abstract
Parametric Design Process of Facade Elements with Characteristics of Fractal Geometry: Development, Evaluation and Application
Highlights
This article deals with the use of the characteristics of linear fractal geometry applied in patterns of architectural elements
One of the possibilities for the insertion of fractal patterns is the use of computational design and tools, which allowed changes in the way architecture is conceived (SALINGAROS; MEHAFFY, 2007; SALINGAROS, 2003)
The present study shows the construction of a parametric process that involves different methods and concepts, resulting in a compilation of unified procedures in the development of a process to develop, organize and evaluate a composition of facade elements with characteristics of linear fractal geometry
Summary
This article deals with the use of the characteristics of linear fractal geometry applied in patterns of architectural elements. The use of recent digital tools and methods influences many professionals in various design situations, allowing, among other things, the development of sun protection elements with different and complex shapes. In some cases, these concepts are inspired by nature to develop their shapes and structures. To model generative processes within the field of architecture and design, one of the software that is accepted for the development of the algorithms is the Grasshopper plug-in, a graphic editor connected to the Rhinoceros 3D modeler It provides a variety of mathematical and geometric operations and commands and can change the built digital model. Considering these concepts, this paper, which is part of a master's dissertation, investigates the development of a process to develop, organize and evaluate a composition of facade elements with characteristics of linear fractal geometry
