Creating a New Technological Tool to Design a Unique Façade—Using “Processing†Coding Software to Recreate a Façade in Shanghai Zhonghua Road

Abstract

The aim of architectural technology is the exploration of new methods to figure out the next generation of buildings and future building performance requirements. Designers merely realized to use BIM for completing new architectural design, rather than think about using the current architectural technology to create a new prototype tool. On this basis, tools and architectural technology can lead the designers and architects achieve the design content which they expect faster relevantly. It also means that by using developing of science technology, in the meanwhile, architecture needs to tightly follow the development of technology, which combines together for further development. Therefore, this paper mainly illustrates the methodology of using “Processingâ€, which is a part of fashion method in architectural area, as a technological tool to achieve the design purpose based on an ongoing screen reconstruction project in Zhonghua Street, Shanghai.
