Figure 4 9: Form Development shading devices at the end of every floor where the curtain wall glazing terminates. The form is primarily governed by the factors explained above in the concept. Most of the parameters governing the form are designed to keep the building as energy efficient as possible. The initial form follows simple extrusion of the zoning mass based on energy efficiency through orientation. The second steps involve giving green terraces in appropriate areas based on factors explained above. The third step involves extrusions of different floors based on area requirements. The final step involves facade treatment of the guestrooms and offices by providing shading devices such as parametric vertical louvers whose tilt angle can be controlled based on the solar conditions and horizontal sun shading devices at the end of every floor where the curtain wall glazing terminates. vertical louvers whose tilt angle can be controlled based on the solar conditions and horizontal sun
