Request for Quotation (RFQ): Organic Cocoon Facade Design & Rationalization 1. Project Overview: Project Title: Cocoon Facade – [New Delhi] Scope: Transformation of a rectilinear mall facade into an organic, free-form "Cocoon" silhouette. Objective: To develop a high-fidelity visualization, rationalized parametric model, and fabrication-ready data for a multi-panel aluminum skin with integrated grazing LED lighting. 2. Design Roadmap & Key Milestones: Phase 1: Schematic Design & Visualization (3DS Max) Goal: Establish the aesthetic "Flow" and obtain client sign-off on the silhouette. • Milestone 1.1: Initial Massing & Context Match. 3D model of the existing site conditions based on provided photos/drawings. • Milestone 1.2: Sub-D Form Finding. Creation of the organic "Cocoon" geometry using Subdivision Surface modeling. • Milestone 1.3: High-Fidelity Rendering. Finalized "Wow" renders showing the bronze/metallic finish, the "disappearing" trench detail, and nighttime DMX lighting simulations. • Deliverables: 3D Max Source File, 4-6 Photorealistic Renders (Day/Night). Phase 2: Parametric Rationalization (Rhino + Grasshopper) Goal: Convert the "Dumb" mesh into "Smart," buildable panels. • Milestone 2.1: Surface Reconstruction. Conversion of 3DS Max Sub-D geometry into high-quality NURBS surfaces. • Milestone 2.2: Diamond Grid Panelization. Implementation of the parametric grid across the facade. • Milestone 2.3: Planarization & Optimization. Using Kangaroo Physics to flatten 4-point panels for cost-effective fabrication. • Tolerance Check: Calculation of the "Sagitta" (deviation) for any panels that remain double-curved. • Milestone 2.4: Lighting Path Integration. Mapping the DMX Flexible Grazer path within the trench at a fixed offset from the skin. • Deliverables: Rhino (.3dm) file, Grasshopper (.gh) script with clear annotations. Phase 3: Fabrication & Production Data Goal: Generate the data for CNC routing and site installation. • Milestone 3.1: Unique ID Tagging. Every panel must have a generated ID (e.g., C-01-A) etched into its geometry. • Milestone 3.2: Unrolling & Nesting. Flattening of 3D panels into 2D cut-files and optimizing them onto 3mm thk. Aluminium Sheets (5005 Grade) of size 2440mm x 1220mm. • Milestone 3.3: Structural Rib Extraction. Generating the "Contour" curves for the steel/aluminum sub-structure that brackets to the existing glass facade. • Deliverables: Nested DXF files for CNC, Fabrication Schedule (Excel), and Assembly Map. 3. Technical Requirements for Freelancers: • Proficiency: Expert level in 3DS Max (Poly modeling/V-Ray or Corona) and Rhino 7/8 (Grasshopper/Kangaroo/LunchBox). • Experience: Proven track record in "Design-to-Fabrication" workflows for complex facades. • Geometry Logic: Understanding of Planar Quad (PQ) meshes and the difference between cold-forming and stretch-forming aluminum. 4. Evaluation Criteria: a. Portfolio Quality: Previous organic/parametric builds. b. Logic Clarity: The ability to explain the Grasshopper script so the internal team can make minor site adjustments. c. Timeline: Ability to meet the staggered milestones within four weeks. 5. Submission Instructions: Kindly provide a lump-sum fee broken down by Phase, along with an estimated timeline for each Milestone. Please include a sample of a previous "Unroll" or "Nesting" project to demonstrate technical competence in production data. Do Note that all Grasshopper scripts are proprietary deliverables. If the mall’s as-built dimensions vary during the 30-foot glass de-installation, you will need that script to "regenerate" the panels instantly without paying for a full redesign. What is your target timeline for moving from this "Concept Brief" to having the first set of fabrication files on the factory floor?

HI, I can deliver an innovative organic cocoon façade concept with biomorphic architectural forms, parametric surface detailing, sustainable material integration, and striking 3D visualizations tailored for futuristic and visually iconic building design. Questions ✅ Do you already have architectural massing, site dimensions, or concept sketches available for the façade development? ✅ Which design direction do you prefer — fluid parametric geometry, nature-inspired biomimicry, or a luxury futuristic façade aesthetic? ✅ Do you require only conceptual façade renders, or also fabrication detailing, parametric modeling, and construction-ready drawings? Warm regards, The Blend Nation.

Hi, this is an exciting facade project, and I can support the workflow from concept visualization through parametric rationalization and fabrication-ready output. I can help develop the cocoon geometry, create high-quality day/night renders, and coordinate the Rhino + Grasshopper panelization workflow with organized, editable scripts that allow fast regeneration if site dimensions change during execution. I focus on clean design-to-fabrication coordination, including panel optimization, unrolling, nesting, tagging, and structured production data for CNC workflows. I understand the importance of planarization logic, fabrication tolerances, and maintaining a flexible parametric setup for real-world adjustments. Based on the scope, the first fabrication-ready panel package can realistically be prepared within a few weeks after concept approval and as-built confirmation—happy to discuss milestone timelines, workflow structure, and relevant parametric facade experience in detail.

⭐ I handled a similar project ⭐, Happy to show you what works before you commit. A complex parametric facade model was developed with integrated lighting and fabrication-ready data for an aluminum skin installation. This aligns perfectly with your Cocoon Facade project involving high-fidelity visualization and rationalized panel design. The key focus on parametric rationalization and production data generation demonstrates clear understanding of design-to-fabrication processes. Specializing in organic facade panelization, I emphasize precision, seamless integration of lighting elements, and delivering polished, buildable outputs. Let’s chat for a free consultation; worst case, you walk away with a free consultation and a clearer understanding of your project. Kind regards, Curtley
