Sharing a behind the scenes look at my Parametric Façade Design that was modeled in SketchUp and detailed in Revit. We are only limited by our own imagination, but hopefully this video gives insight into documenting digital fabrication techniques as we transition into an era of complex geometries and fluid forms.

The façade design was fabricated from foam blocks and assembled on site. A final coat of Stolit® Milano plaster was used for the seamless glossy appearance.

The design was performed with Architect of Record Camburas Theodore LTD and was featured in the Chicago Tribune in an article covered by Blair Kamin.

    Very Brave to be doing this kind of work in Sketchup! Props for pushing it further, although I am sure it's not that easy! Natural software choice for many would be Rhino/Grasshopper where a lot of the work - like producing sections of each member could be automated

    man, I have been following ur account I admire ur working flow, and I want to ask u if u have a good reference book for construction doc related to digital fabrication or construction of doubly surface or ruled surfaces, I am in my final of architecture(five-year b_Arch), and I love parametric architecture and I have mastered grasshopper but I lack information how to make drawing out from it
