Parametric Design - King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center


Parametric Design - ARCH 655

KAPSARC - King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center



Following is a very brief introduction to the project by the design firm (Zaha Hadid Architects):


The most challenging part of the modeling process was to find the Geometry of the design. The design is basically a Hexagon-based Voronoi that is stretched at different locations at different directions. 




According to site plan the design can be directed by a set of lines that partition the plane into different segments. Each segment, then, should be stretched by a specific scale factor. 











Then all segments should be merged together to create a 2D diagram.



Finally, through a random extrusion methodology the cells will be extruded to create the 3D model.
