screen prototype that opens and closes by reacting to changes in temperature. This is achieved by using a shape memory alloy wire (commonly known as muscle wire) which acts as both sensor, motor and actuator by applying a specific amount of voltage (15.82v in this case) which brings the wire temperature to 70 degrees. Once the wire cools down it goes back to a relaxed state, allowing the screen to go back to a closed position.

Folding Shading Panel - V-weave chevron

2012-02-08T16:46:33.929Z

This Yupo polypropylene panel was lasercut from a Rhino Grasshopper script that that adjusts the panel proportions and size of slit openings. It is a variant of a Miura-Ori herringbone pattern in which some of the corners are slit to catch the light. This is part of the Shaping Light project to examine how origami folding can be used for architectural shading devices.

Shaping Light - V-weave chevron pattern

I translated a folding paper screen into an animated simulation using Rhino/Grasshopper. This variant of a Miura-Ori herringbone pattern is part of a larger Shaping Light project to see how origami can be applied to architectural sun shading.
