Behind the pattern

A field of facets.
A surface in motion.

My Kinetic Facade definition starts with a triangular grid. Full-size triangles are raised into pyramids, separated into faces, rotated around an edge and thickened into metal panels.

This browser interpretation starts with the saved 10 × 10 dimensions, 15 divisions, 0.46 projection and 12° opening. It uses a consistent base-edge hinge; individual face orientation and edge ordering can differ from Grasshopper. Try different colours or animate the opening to explore the shifting surface.
