Solar Scoop
Firm
This project was developed as a part of Dana Cupkova's
interdisciplinary research seminar on Adaptive Component Systems at Cornell University,
focus of which is the integration of discreet energy harvesting systems directly into
architectural membranes and fabrication logic.
Solar
Scoop is a panelized façade system which performs as
an indirect lighting filtration device. This system strives to create a more
even and deeper distribution of the lighting into interior spaces. It
calibrates the façade surface, modulates the light and thus enables qualitative
spatial effects for occupiable environments, while having ability to control
heating loads. This product would be designed as both a retrofit system for
existing glass curtain wall façade construction as well as a product for use in
newly constructed buildings. Our design focuses on the relationship
between lighting levels and programmatic usage, thus creating a building skin
that could directly respond to the specific illumination requirements of
different programs, especially programs with necessity for indirect lighting
(such as offices, exhibition spaces, etc.).
The
lighting effects are controlled by two scales of adaptation:
1)
Opening aperture, depth and direction of the individual components with
adaptability to fractional performative requirement of the aggregate
2)
Window opening formed by the combinational logic of 4 quarter sub-panels into
the floor to floor panel to provide views and natural ventilation.
Parametric
digital tools and digitally simulated analysis are used in desire to predict
the behavior of the aggregated system in different climactic scenarios and thus
offer feasible solutions to specific programmatic and aesthetic investigations.
The design trend is constantly supplemented with the feedback of data obtained
from the lighting analysis and thus provides more specific parameters for the
computationally controlled adaptation process. As much as the actual
performance the formal characteristics can be varied by adapting the primitive
unit of the overall system.
