Abstract

As media architecture becomes an increasingly popular vehicle for the integration of digital technologies into the built environment, a combination of techniques becomes necessary to overcome challenges regarding prototyping form, content and scale. In this paper, we present P+, an open-sourced test fit generative platform for the design of 3D media façades. It consists of modular light cell components that can be assembled into a larger structure; a physical, 3D printing based prototyping kit; and a software tool for generation, testing and live running of façades fulfilling pre-defined contextual constraints.
