Parafa is a facade project in Zurich with a large number of non-standard sheet metal components.
In collaboration with Carl Meier Sohn AG, the focus was on developing a continuous workflow connecting design, fabrication, and logistics.
VektorNode supported the project from initial design to on-site assembly. The computational design logic generated both the geometry and structured production and logistics data for industrial-scale implementation.
Challenge & Solution
Challenge
A facade geometry with hundreds of individual components required precise coordination between design, fabrication, and logistics that was difficult to manage with conventional processes.
Solution
Development of a computational system that consistently links geometry, production data, and logistics information and transfers them directly to fabrication machinery.
