For this Project 1, I chose a target building for parametric modeling, and I made a virtual building model include a building mass and shading devices by Autodesk Revit.
1. Building
The building for Project 1 is named "Q1 building" which is Thyssenkrupp Quarter in Germany.
The shading devices on the facade of this building can be a parametric model, so I chose this for Project 1.
In this project, the shading devices and operations of the devices are significant, so I am going to focus on the shading devices here.
2. Building Modeling by Autodesk Revit 2014
A mass of building was built for this project. I needed many reference planes to shape the mass. However, it was simple and much easier than other curved buildings because my mass model was formed with cubes and cuboids only.
Figure 3. Mass of Q1 Building
After creating the mass, the mass was simply fabricated with a roof, exterior walls, floors and curtain walls. Moreover, interior walls, windows, doors and hand rails are also made placed by the components from Revit itself or the internet sources. I didn't have a plan for parametric design on this building mass, and I didn't try to make the mass as a parametric model.

After that, I made shading devices. To make shading devices, I used a "Curtain Panel Pattern Based.rft" template for continuous arrays of the devices. For this process, my computer resource was not enough for smooth work, so I worked separately with a building mass and the shading devices.

The mass and the facade which were worked separately became one at the end of the project.

3. Equations
The shading devices of this project should track the sun's position to shade the inside of the building, so the shading devices were made to move horizontally. I used simple equations for moving shading devices, but there are no equations for tracking the sun's position yet in this Project 1. For Project 2, I am going to use the equations which are related with sun's movement.

4. Rendering images
The pictures below are my rendering images for Q1 building. Although I didn't expressed all interior spaces, I did it some for this model. And I attached electric lights roughly for the night view.

5. Future work for Project 2
As the future work mentioned above, I will focus on the shading devices' movement which can track the sun's position. The pictures below explain shading device movement of the south facade of building. This work will be conducted for Project 2. Even if I didn't draw more pictures for other directions, I should take care of not only the South face of shadings but also I should think about the East, West and North sides of the building for shading movement. Accordingly, I will make at least four similar shading devices with different movements for each side at the same time.
