Wow, I love that video! Thank you.

Can't wait to see that detail of yours, when it's finished. Please do post it, when it's done.

Right now I'm working on that detail promptly Djordje ... I resolve ... the porosity is a mechanical system ...
There are certain projects utilizing the deformation of materials as a resource: contraction and expansion ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IweRDzvS9Fo
This is very experimental !

Thank you for the reply.

Can you just clarify this a bit more:

"Their morphology (hexagonal Poliferation's) is derived from the porous form of the cactus that reduces sunlight irradiating the vegetation"

How does this porous form reduces the sunlight irradiation?

Your hexagonal poliferation also is porous? Can you show me an image where that can be seen?

Gracias.

Djordje You're right! ..
The hexagonal Poliferation move up to reduce the entry of light
Their morphology is derived from the porous form of the cactus that reduces sunlight irradiating the vegetation (Architecture Ecofisiolígica).
The vertical element represents the spines of a cactus and functions as a temperature sensor.
Djordje Remember I live in an oasis in Mendoza Argentina, in a desert climate! ... There comes the inspiration for my thesis: In the xerophilous vegetation from my land.

Thank you for the reply. I still do not understand what those pyramidal things represent, and I did not find answer in your website either everything is on Spanish language.

Do those pyramidal things (I think you called them "Poliferation exagonales"?) represent some sort of coverings for the roof, and they extend themselves up an down during the day, in relation to the sun irradiation, in a way, that when they are extending up - the opening on it's top is shrinking, and when they extend down the opening is expanding. This shrinking and expanding is regulating the sun rays penetration into the object.
Or am I wrong?

And what does that vertical stick in the middle of this pyramidal shapes represent? It is some sort of a sun irradiation sensor?

Where do solar panel go? Out of the object on the ground? Or?

Hello Djordje !
Look ... when solar radiation is important, the pyramids are mobilized up...So sunlight is controlled.
We have not used Ecotec! .. These days we will take a course of Ecotec ..
The course is in Chile ...

We have used a solar irradiation defición allows me to control the impact of it affecting various geometries.

Project inspiration comes from my own land and habitat: the desert. In these places of vast solar impact, xerophytic vegetation such as cacti has developed amazing strategies to leverage scorching sunlight. These strategies were reflected in my project’s form and space, thus regulating, optimizing and mutating sunlight passage according to the degree of irradiation.
This sunlight regulation tries to draw its inspiration on the dynamic effects of light and shade cast by a tree under the sunlight.
The growing social awareness on the need for our world to be sustainable led me to make a proposal committed to community use as a contribution to the common good. In addition to this space’s functioning as a multipurpose place for its community’s versatile, changing and fluent usage, it also has the ability to collect and provide much-needed water for people living in a desert environment.
Another contribution to sustainability consists of taking the very light that gives life to the project, and turn it into an energy resource used daily through constant benefit from solar energy. This is captured by solar cells so that the roof can produce a wide range of sunlight passages throughout the day.

Djordje thanks for your interest!

Ok I voted! I like your project.

Can you just explain me that solar radiation part please? How did you use it? You got a daily solar radiation from Ecotect and then used it to distribute those pyramidal things along the roof?

What do they (those pyramids) represent?
