A growing library of parametric facade systems, modelled natively in Revit. In this study, vertical timber fins sweep across a glazed pavilion in a rising-and-falling rhythm — deep enough to cut low western sun, open enough at eye level to keep the view. Because each fin is an adaptive Revit family, the spacing, depth and cut-line can be tuned per orientation and per project, and the model outputs fabrication-ready schedules directly. Facade as climate instrument, not decoration.
