This document describes the parametric design process for the façade of the Coca-Cola Shape Building in Las Vegas using adaptive curtain panel components. The process involves: 1) Creating circles of varying diameters to define the shape, 2) Calculating height differences between circles to model the bottle shape, 3) Translating and adding polygons to the circles, 4) Creating horizontal and vertical curves to define the solid form, 5) Generating faces and removing top/bottom ones, then 6) Inserting an adaptive component model into parametric grids of points with configurable height and diameter parameters.

for the a new building design “:
The Coca-Cola Shape Building

Shape Building in
Las Vegas
Adaptive
Component
(Curtain Panel)

4. ●This first step is
the creation of all
the 8 sections
(circles) with
different
diameters that will
be used later for
the shape design.

5. ●This second step
is the set up of the
Total height of the
building and then
the calculation of
the different
heights of the
circles created
before.

6. ●This third step is
the translation of
the Circles in the
different heights
and then creation
of 12 sided
Polygons in each
of the circles to
define better a
Coca-Cola bottle.

7. ●This fourth step is for the creation of the
Horizontal and Vertical NURB curves given first
all the Polygon curves and setting up the
parameters ( points at determined distance)

8. ●This fifth step is first the creation of
the Solid and then the 3 Faces of the
solid and then drop the top and bottom
one

9. From “ Lunch Box “Package
●This last step the insertion of the Adaptive
Component modelled as a RFA file in the
Parametric Grid (Panel panel quad)
of Points
