The Cloud: A per­for­ma­tive build­ing skin prototype.

The Cloud is an algo­rithm for cre­at­ing and con­trol­ling 3D topogra­phies from 2D images. The image con­trols the poros­ity of the sur­face, reg­u­lat­ing light and air, as well as over­all struc­tural form and topography.

Each cloud is unique, born from each of their own ‘genetic’ images, in direct response to the per­for­ma­tive needs of its site.

Devel­oped and fab­ri­cated by Yes Duffy with Chris­t­ian Cutul at UC Berkeley.
