PPG Factory Facade

Overview

A facade conceived not as decoration but as identity. PPG produces paint — substance that flows, layers, and transforms surfaces. The cladding system answers that logic directly: aluminum panels cut and folded into wave-derived geometries, each a frozen moment of pigment in motion. The surface shifts tone as light rakes across it through the day, from warm copper at dawn to cool silver by midday, without a single painted surface. The 1,371 m² system was developed parametrically, panel geometry driven by a sine-based attractor field so the whole facade behaves as one continuous form despite being fabricated as individual sheet metal components.
