Test 18.12.2018
The test of the course Parametric Design (PD18) is the parametric modeling of the facade shading of the Kiefer Technic Showroom - Link

For student will model the facade shading that adapt to the sun position. The sun position is not the actual position of the sun but for this exercise, in which the scope is the parametric modeling, it is represented by a line the orientation of which can be modified in the base parametric model provided.

For the test the student will use as base material:
- The 3D file download
- The parametric file with part of the model already done download
- The instructions for the test download

The students will have to add the missing parts of the parametric model following the steps indicated in the model, or alternatively using his/her own method. In the parametric model is provided a working version of the facade model to check how the final result should work.
At the end of the test the student has to send the parametric file (only) to francesco.deluca@ttu.ee naming the file PD18test-name+familyname.
