Overview of design

First step of Part One: Use populate2D to split points on the surface of facade.

Second step of Part One: give points a random distance to move into glass wall.

Third step of Part One: use voronoi to get the columns.

First step of Part Two; Use voronoi and boolean to get frames of window.

Second step of Part Two: Use offset and voronoi to get the pieces of glasses.

The physics part

Analysis about weights of the whole frame.
