UTS Central is a striking 17-storey, glass-clad building that serves as the final project of the University of Sydney’s city campus master plan. TILT Industrial Design commissioned Parametric Monkey to provide parametric modelling and digital fabrication services for the sun-shading system that regulates solar access to the library’s reading room. Instead of static panels, the system features 108 unique aluminium louvres, 64 of which are motor-driven and continuously adapt to hourly changing daylight conditions.
