PERSHING X
Location: Downtown LA
Type: Mockup office
Pershing X is an office project in Downtown, Los Angeles, CA. It integrates a prototype for an ecosystem design approach that involves the frontal cladding as a solar strategy. According to site studies previously made, a parametric design was developed to allow as much light in during cold months and as less light during hot months, creating a balance and a relationship between the building configuration and the users. The parametric facade is composed of perforated metal panels, and attached to metal spheres that allow rotation when a natural force makes contact creating a phenomenal effect. The perforated panels control the light coming inside and keep a visual connection with Persian square and its context.
