This seminar investigates motion, natural light and optical devices and renders them as active architectural instruments. We will particularly consider kinetic skylights and shades and focus on their phenomenology, environmental and technological qualities. Throughout the semester we will design intelligent and programmable optical devices, measure and analyze their performance, develop representation techniques and a unique design vocabulary.
