Facade Panel Form For Fiberglass 101

Here is our first iteration of a facade panel form. The form has raised veins and recessed veins, which will generate a texture reading during the day, and opaque vein reading at night against the warm glow of the unraised portion of the panel. We are also exploring the performance potentials in these two vein types in directing water across the facade. The veins also provide added structure to the panel which will help as panel sizes increase, and sectional thickness stay at a minimum.
