Tropism
Tropism is a kinetic solar shading system that can match the movement of the sun. For our inspiration we focused on naturally occurring solar tracing. We found that the sunflower traces the sun through an internal clock system refereed to

Project 3B
This project did not get off to the best start for us. Our initial idea, although fun and visually appealing, lacked applicability and would have been impossible to create in the amount of time we had. Originally we were inspired

Osmosis: A Breathable Wall Part 2
While my partner Sydney Ritter discussed our design intent, I will be discussing our process of fabricating our prototype. The process of building a full scale prototype was challenging and very rewarding. We learned valuable information about our design while

Kinetic Overlap : Pt. 3
Part 3 The final model worked flawlessly. Since the beginning we were scared once we scaled up we would run into many more problems, but since we designed the prototype more than 3 times it was a piece of cake

Kinetic Overlap : Pt. 2
Part 2 We began building the model a couple of days before the construction science students needed it for their presentation. Once we got the final approval on the final prototype we spent a full day laser cutting and a

Kinetic Overlap : Pt. 1
Part 1 This project was about exploring a sun shading device that could control the light and wind that comes into the bridge connecting Langford A,B, and C. When we began this project I did not know what to expect.

OSMOSIS: Breathable Expansion Part 1
For our final project, partner Kristin Higgins and I developed an experimental building skin prototype that could be installed in places like the Langford bridge breezeway to create comfortable environments. This breathable wall system is intended to mediate environmental conditions in

Project 4: KASS System Pt. 3
Sydney Alford (partners with Emily Cloat) Final images of the KASS System. Enjoy! For our final model we have created simulations through grasshopper and rhino to ensure that our solar shading device would in-fact work and produce some shading aspect
