With global surfaces in order, the surface model was then imported into the parametric design platform, CATIA V5, to generate and manage the Latticework System. Parametric criteria included panel count, size, weight, spacing between panels and finalized form. With openings between panels accounted for, the final pattern developed for the Latticework System, a.k.a. 'the flocking pattern', amounted to 85% of the global surface area of the façade, and consisted of 12,000 uniquely sized pre-weathered steel panels.
