Movie


This project was modeled after the ATM Tower in NYC, NY. It is a 22 story office tower with an attached parking garage. The radius of the curved wall is parametrically related to the height of the floor level. Additionally, the height of the office tower and parking garage are parametrically related to the number of floors in each structure. Finally, the last parametric relationship is the relectivity of the glass panels. As the height of the floors increase, the glass becomes less and less reflective.

I wanted to explore the ability to relate the size of the glass panels to the floor height, but this proved to be too complex for this project. This concept will be explored in the next assignment. 


The radius of the curved wall can be increased or decreased.








The heights of the garage and tower are related to the number of floors.





The reflectivity of the glass panels are related to the floor height.
