Adaptive, reactive architecture - adapting to the environmentsunlight, daylight, moonlight, temparature, rain, cloud cover
Rain: when it's raining, a cover would extent out further into the courtyard providing a place for people to stop and put up/put down umbrellas, put on/take off raincoats
- Sunny day: cover extends right back out of the way to let in more light to the transition area
- Low light: lighting automatically comes on and adjusts to the ammount of light coming in
- Temparature: colder, the threshold will adapt so that less outside air can easily flow into the transition area; hotter, the threshold area will allow more air to flow, creating a breez
Inviting people to enter
light, temparature, sound, smell, movement
A warm light coming from inside, pleasant temparature compared with outside, pleasant sounds and smells
