Singapore Arts Centre, Façade and Main Shell Superstructure.  A collaboration between Atelier One, DP Architects & Michael Wilford & Partner.
The form evolved by working with the wind, quantified by use of wind tunnel testing. The shading devices were developed by tracking the sun's path.  One system, configured differently, was used to account for the varying sun over the 3-dimensional surface.
