We have been invited to CP Europe in Madrid. Our project “Environment-responsive Kinetic Facade” has been selected as one of 20 finalists to be presented within the Digital Creativity section.

Wind-animated Facade (Proposal)

We have developed a concept and a prototype for an office building facade. The idea was to fill the 1000 sqm glass surface with small steel panels in order to create a dynamic surface that is reflecting to the flow of air.

Traffic Responsive Lighting System

We have developed a lighting system for the facade of an office building which is controlled by noise of the traffic. The system consists of glass panels with integrated and invisible white LEDs, a DMX lighting control unit, a custom made sound processing PCB and an Arduino board that controls the effects.

Environment Responsive Kinetic Facade

The project is part of a complex design work at a hotel (architects: Peter Sugar, Laszlo Benczur) right by the riverside in Budapest, which is a responsive glass facade system consisting of 150 unequally processed panels. The entire surface is moving permanently as well as illuminating by night according to environmental influences around the building. Controlled by weather sensors the facade responds to changes of wind, temperature and light conditions. While the light is flowing slowly like the river, wind triggers contrast and temperature alters the color range. The result is a symbiosis between architecture, design and the environment.
