smart partition

Living Architecture:

Fall 06
Smart Partition
Input component-
-Current applied to Flexinol wires, which will travel to different panel position in strategically in a space.
Processing component-
-On/Off program with sensor/switch allowing the user to control the different stages of the panel, giving flexibility to the user.
Output component-
-Panels with scores and slits that when manipulated create an opening in the panel. When modulated and put together the series of panels create a wall/partition condition which, in this case, serves the purpose of sound manipulation within a space, as well as exploring the idea of private and share space.
When the panels are triggered, the openings are exposed and motion starts o occurred, letting sound/audible vibrations into a space, when close the space becomes a “sound-proof” zone. The secondary function of the panels consists on private vs. share zones.
Scale of a single "module" if you have one-
-scale of one of the panels should be 1 to 1, at this moment the design team is exploring the possibilities of panel communications as well as individual function.
Number of modules you will create
-4 modules should be give a good understanding of the idea in process.
Sitting (vertical, horizontal, indoor, outdoor, in a quiet environment, etc.)
-Vertical
The "twist" of the project
?
Vendors of all materials you will have to buy
Frame structure- wood, metal framing
Panel material- transparencies,
wood
fabric? (new idea)
List of technical issues and tests you will have to conduct in the next five weeks.
-Successful materials test- (sound proof and flexible)
-successful multiple panel connections
-exploration between individual to multiple movement control within panels.
- Switch control- processing and output.
