Wind Response
Idea Driven by Auto Industry - fins drive air to cool engine, funnel to cool tires, stabilize uplift and hug road.
An idea: what if we looked at the wind function as a diurnal process-shading by day and a reconfiguration at night to allow night flushing, harness to turbines, etc.
A subtractive process in the doors...could speak to a facade that pulls in towards the curtain wall to create wind channels
Lower door scoop could become fins that could be solar as well as drive wind to cool or be harnessed for energy, etc.
Just another example of pulling and harnessing wind. The lower scoops here cool the tires and brakes. Upper scoop over back window pulls air toward the rear engine drive to assist with high temp cooling.

Louver System
Insolar louver system
This definition extends the GH powercopy to be parametrically associated with the solar geometry obtained through the insolar radiation algorithm. It is part of a larger series related to the idea of Environmental Parametrics.

Solar Insulation Ideas
inflatable Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (ETFE) skin. A solar-powered automatic light sensor, that regulates sunlight and temperature for the structure, controls the skin. Essentially the skin is a dynamic form of insulation and super energy-efficient window in one. The ETFE skin allows light to filter through but shades the people inside from direct sunlight, reducing UV rays by 85%

The distinctive properties of the material should not only become a mere actuator replacement but be orchestrated for their aesthetic qualities. EAP is a highly attractive component for kinetic architectural applications due to its extreme flexibility, lightness, thin dimensions and smooth actuation.
EAP is a polymer actuator that converts electrical power into mechanical force. In principle it consists of a thin layer of very elastic acrylic tape sandwiched between two electrodes. Once the voltage in the range of several kilovolts is applied between the electrodes, the polymer changes its shape in two ways. First, due to the attraction of the opposing charges, the film is squeezed in the thickness direction (up to 380%), secondly, the repelling forces between equal charges on both electrodes result in a linear expansion of the film. As a result, after actuation the film becomes thinner and its surface area increases. If the supportive frame is flexible, due to the initial pre-stretching of the acrylic film, the frame bends. After application of voltage, the material expands, and the component flattens out.

The triangular pillows on the southeast side inhale and exhale like lungs to provide sensor-controlled sun shading. The long cushions on the southwest fill with nitrogen to block heat and filter light; in 30 minutes, a beautiful, cascading nitrogen cloud responds to the rising temperature outside, replacing a conventional air conditioning system, which can account for 80 per cent of a building’s energy consumption.
