If you’re as fascinated by design and schematics as I am and have a interest in kinetic ambient reflection membrane, let me introduce you to Flare Facade. And if you already know, then you’re way ahead of the game. Check out this video and you’ll see the Flare facade acts as a building’s skin, and computer generation controls movement of a number of metal flake components.
The system is modular and each flake can be programmed to tilt toward or away from the sun – reflecting light off it’s surface and creating movement in infinite patterns across the surface of a building thereby allowing the façade to interact with its surrounding. By reflecting ambient or direct sunlight, the individual flakes of the FLARE system act like pixels formed by natural light. If none of that just made any sense to you, check out the link above and watch the video… then you can thank me.
