Parametric Camshaft Mechanism for Adaptive Building Envelope and Kinetic Building Ornaments

Abstract:

This paper offers development of the building envelope that aims to revive a new expression of traditional decorative elements by applying digital technology as well as having an adaptive function. This paper also proposes a camshaft mechanism system to transform the pattern of traditional ornament that uses pre-programmed analysis data of environmental changes to parametrically drive the number of rotation phase and Lobe Lift that generates the shape of camshaft. Furthermore, this shapes drives the transformation of the basic pattern. In conclusion, this paper has developed a prototypical tool that facilitates the new approach to kinetic decorative ornaments on building envelopes.
