Wave Wall — a parametric acoustic surface.

Designed for a corporate boardroom in Agadir, Wave Wall transforms a technical acoustic requirement into an architectural feature through computational design, digital fabrication and modular assembly.

About

Conventional acoustic panels solve a problem but rarely add to a space. Here, a single parametric surface improves speech clarity and comfort while becoming the boardroom’s signature architectural element.

01 — The Design Concept

Designed as a system,
not an object.

The wall was not modeled as a static form. A parametric workflow let the wave morphology, depth, density and level of detail be controlled in real time — generating endless variations from a single computational framework before a single module was printed.
