Innovation 2: Interactive Façade

• Movable façade/windows able to optimize air flow.

• Connected to an apparatus for sending messages by semaphore.

• Figure 1: Exploded Axonometric showing overall scheme.

• Figure 2: Exploded Axonometric seperating façade and skin.

• Figure 3-6 1:10 Model. Semaphore devices (shaped like a boat oar) respond to the swing of windows and movements of louvres.

The oars move back and forth to convey the direction of travel for passing boats underneath the structure.

Innovation 3 : Movable façade and roof designed to collect water • The moveable façade could change the range of sunlight on the floor.

• Roof is designed to collect rainwater completely, allowing water recycling.
