Interactive Shade
The INTERACTIVE SHADE project was started with three objectives in mind for the public square space. The first was to enable citizens to use the space more intimately(when sunny and rainnyday). The second was enabling the space to hold hundreds of different programs efficiently and flexibly. And the last was to reduce the loss of time and finances that occur whenever event programs switch.
I suggested the utilization of intelligent fabric structures, as in combining the preexisting Tent structure with the interactive mechanisms such as the Auto-Folded umbrella structure, the Interactive Pole and the Panel-Link system. This sustainable shelter structure would exceed the limit of simple mechanism from the old tent structure, which is not changeable or flexible. Also, it can make the composition of the plaza space more functional and dynamic.
