The façade screen wall made of blocks is generatively designed, and addresses environmental and structural criteria. The design demonstrats itself as stable in rigid-body physics-based simulations in Rhino3D, while aiming to maximize visual porosity, solar shading and physical projections (overhangs). A scale-model portion of the wall was robotically assembled using a robot pick and place manufacturing process.
