These interactive maneuverable components can be
assembled in a range of scales to provide location-specific
shading, privacy, and produce light at night. Components
are independently controlled to open and close
according to different levels of light throughout the day.
Interactive Cladding System: Functions
Sun, Sound, Light, Privacy
The interactive components can provide location-specific
shading and gentle light filtration. They can also
buffer sound if fabricated from noise-absorbant materials.
Further, targeted shading can be controlled as well
as programmable night lighting in various colors.
Single Cell Logic
1. Establish the vertices of an equilateral triangle, the
midpoints of its edges and its centroid.
2. Establish vector category A - form the edge midpoints
to the centroid.
3. Establish vector category B - form the vertices to the
centroid. The principle is that the vertices move along vector category B, as much as the edge midpoints move along
vector category A, as much as the centroid moves upwards along the z – direction. So a single slider controls all these translations.
4. Establish planar surfaces along the fold lines.
Geometric Variants
Variants in geometry were also tested.
Here, a new tessellation serves similar
functions with different behavior.
Multiple Cell Logic
1. Draft Surface to tessellate
2. Divide the surface into a triangulated pattern
Each triangle becomes a subsurface, to which
the single Panel script may be applied.
3. To control an incremental ‘swarm-like’ distributed
pattern of panel folding that may be based on variable
parameters of sunlight or motion sensing across the
surface, introduce the ‘Random’ (grafted output) component
to the slider controlling the motion translation.
Body
Range of Scales
The components can be fabricated in a range of scales
for various uses. At vary large scales, the cells can even
form a passageway large enough for humans, or Darth
Vadar.
