◆ Web tool design & parametric logic

A web-based parametric tool that generates architectural façade systems live in the browser — no license, no specialist software.

FAÇADE/GEN is a web-based parametric design tool that generates architectural façade systems through an interactive, intuitive interface. Its first version focuses purely on geometric and spatial performance, letting users explore façade configurations — horizontal fins, vertical louvres, egg-crate grids, perforated screens and mashrabiya patterns — without relying on climate or environmental data.

As parameters are modified — width, height, louvre spacing, thickness, depth, rotation — the façade geometry updates in real time, enabling rapid design exploration and immediate comparison between systems. The tool gives visual feedback and geometric performance indicators, with an overall design score, straight in the browser and on any device.

  • Browser-based parametric façade generator — no specialist software
  • Real-time geometry updates with live performance indicators
  • Built for students, educators & early-stage designers
