The use of custom code and advanced digital tools has allowed for a level of precision and detail that would have been impossible using traditional methods, resulting in a truly unique and striking building that is sure to be a landmark for years to come.
Overall, the façade of the SiTE Santa Fe building is a stunning example of contemporary architecture and advanced fabrication techniques.
SITE Santa Fe Museum Facade
The façade of the Site Santa Fe building by SHoP Architects is a stunning example of contemporary architecture and advanced fabrication techniques. The building's entrances are adorned with a striking ornamental cladding system that is made from a series of folded and perforated aluminum panels. The design of the cladding system is unique and intricate, with each panel featuring a different pattern that creates a dynamic moiré effect when layered together. The result is a visually striking façade that is both beautiful and functional.
What makes the façade design even more impressive is the fact that it was developed and fabricated using custom code. This means that every aspect of the design, from the initial concept to the final fabrication process, was meticulously planned and executed using advanced digital tools and techniques.
The fabrication of the cladding system was a complex and challenging process that required a high level of precision and attention to detail. The panels were created using a combination of CNC milling and water jet cutting, which allowed for extremely accurate and detailed cuts.
The panels were then folded and perforated using custom-built machinery that was specifically designed for this project. This allowed for a high degree of customization and allowed the design team to create a unique and complex façade that could not have been achieved using traditional fabrication methods.
