Last year, core.form-ula had the great opportunity to collaborate with artist Sheryl Oring, by designing an installation for her “I Wish to Say” exhibit in Chicago. We will showcase this effort in the weeks to come. We now have that great opportunity to collaborate again, but this time, Sheryl is opening this opportunity to all individuals who are interested in participating. Please take a moment and understand how you can get your “Creative Fix” on.

What are the potential benefits of and obstacles to a responsive kinetic facade system?
While designing the façade for a particular project here at SOM, one team asked this question, and sought to design a manufacturable kinetic facade system. Starting with a standard IGU, the team applied a hinged glass pane and spandrel panel laminated with photovoltaic cells. Using a magnetic control switch (powered by the photovoltaics), a pair of actuators, and a thermal sensor, the team created a “flexible skin”, capable of actuating based on data received from the thermal sensor. Based on preliminary tests, we’ve found that even a small six degree angular shift can result in a twenty-five percent reduction in the amount of solar heat gain inside the building.
