Across two buildings, more than 15,000 individual sheet metal elements - referred to as parafen - were fabricated and installed. In collaboration with Carl Meier Sohn AG, VektorNode developed the computational design logic that links geometry, fabrication data, and logistics in one consistent process.

Two buildings, over 15,000 individual parafen panels
Geometry and Fabrication Logic
Each of the more than 15,000 parafen elements follows a shared logic while remaining individually distinct. The system defines the geometry and simultaneously generates all fabrication and logistics data for execution at Carl Meier Sohn AG.
Continuous Digital Workflow
The workflow links design, laser cutting, and installation in one consistent data process - from the initial geometry to the final step on site.
Scope
Computational design logic together with fabrication and logistics data for over 15,000 parafen elements across two buildings.
