Let's give our tower a facade!

NOTE

this is the second part of a series of tutorials on the parametric tower. You can find the first part here.

If you want to pick up where the last exercise left off, you can download the model here.

In this exercise, we will continue to develop our tower model, this time focusing on creating a panelized facade system for the curving tower. In the digital world, there are few limitations on geometry, and modern CAD tools like Rhino and Grasshopper make it easy to model free-from curve geometries of high complexity. However, if the goal of the model is to design an object that will be made in the physical world, you must design with the constraints of the material and making process in mind.
