Twisting Louvers

The script is quite simple and effective. It is developed to easily create and take control of the louvers, how big they are, how much they twist, give a route to the veins by using an attractorline and how wide the openings are. It first divides the rectangle plane into horizontal sections. Next comes the attractor line where the louvers twist to its given maximum boundary in the center of the drawn line. The maximum degree to twist is set to 75 degrees, this is chosen because the distribution center itself is 51 meters high and people watch it from beneath and always at an angle which is lower than 90 degrees.

The twisted louvers will change in look and perception when you walk towards it. You get the feeling that it moves. It is really different to see it from a far and to see it nearby. On the outside the veins are drawn in such a way to link with the veins on the inside at the housing and office towers. The softside veins follow the stairs going to the roof of the distribution center in order to look through the louvers.
