Due to the need of organic and sustainable architecture, the shutters I have created aim to use natural and environmentally friendly lighting as opposed to natural lighting throughout the day. The shutters open and close in accordance to the whether.
"Light is a powerful substance", and as such this design element and moving feature captures solar energy, in turn heating up the building and providing a comfortable environment for people to work. Additionally, the angle can be adjusted various measures to move with or against the angle of the sun at different times of the day.
Second moving element: Lift from ground floor extending to top level
Usability and ease of access is a major element of transport now days. The increase in high rise building and stacking of structures results in a clear need of transport between these 'layers' of buildings. An obvious lift is implemented into my structure to allow individuals to easily access various levels including the ground floor, research space, cafe and 'relaxation/study area' and also the office space for academic staff.
