PLAY OF LIGHT

RESPONSIVE SURFACE

 

Mission:

Responsive surface that reacts to the amount of light

 

Assumption:

As an architect, always, there was a question about how we can design the architectural elements to be responsive to their context/environment. For instance how a surface can receive more or less sun light, and how such amount of variation in different parameters can be influential in Design Process, Pattern and Form Finding.

So, what I am trying to do is designing a dynamic and interactive component that is responsive to the amount of light.

 

Implementation:

What is clear for each achievement we should use proper methods and tools. And in this project, Grasshopper, Arduino and Firefly are corners of a triangle that helps us to have an integrated design. Firefly is a specialized set of tools that can make a connection between the arduino interface and grasshopper. In this plug-in, there are two components , one for receiving data coming from sensors, the other to send parametric data from grasshopper to actuator via arduino.
