A Pattern A Structure

To start this project I designed and laser cut a very simple pattern using wire mesh and chipboard.

Seen architecturally as an exterior window, the pattern is centered around a large opening of a "green" facade. The mesh provides opportunities for vine plants to sprawl up  until the window is framed by living greenery.

I developed a mesh shade structure on the window opening in order to provide a bridge for the framing plant life. This structure is roughly scaled to 1/4"=1'-0"

The terraced shade screen blocks harsh light from shining directly in the window opening while offering a perpendicular grow site.

The shade trellises would create an organic shade pattern below and help cut harsh direct sunlight. -Matt Perkins
