Sheet Metal Facade Zurich
Two buildings, over 15,000 individual parafen panels
More than 15,000 individual sheet metal elements - called parafen - were made and installed across two buildings. Each one different. Together with Carl Meier Sohn AG, VektorNode built the design logic that ties the geometry, the production data, and the logistics into one consistent process.
Geometry and Fabrication Logic
Every parafen follows the same underlying logic, yet each one is geometrically unique. The system defines that geometry and produces the production and logistics data alongside it, ready for Carl Meier Sohn AG.
Continuous Digital Workflow
Design, laser cutting, and installation run off the same data, from the first geometry to the last bracket on site.
Scope
The design logic, plus the production and logistics data, for 15,000+ parafen elements across two buildings.
