Morphing Skin

A moving, multipurpose facade for buildings that are prepared for the future is the focus of this project. Lightweight panels that can tilt and rotate to follow the sun and direct rainwater collecting are part of the facade. These panels are tilted to enable rainwater flow into storage tanks and to collect sunlight for solar energy. The intelligent movement of the facade aids in regulating the building's interior temperature and lighting. Its lightweight construction makes maintenance and setup simple. Vertical farming is another potential use for this facade in the future, which would enable plants to grow on it and make buildings more sustainable and green.

The purpose of the first exercise, Understanding Terminology, was to familiarize learners with the fundamental concepts used in the field of dynamic system design. To comprehend how a cantilever system takes loads, the second activity involved creating a horizontal system. Individuals worked on the CAD designs; the rest was done in groups.
