Exemplars

This is an led curtain wall system. It shows just how big they can be made and produced, however, I don't want my building to have a seperate facade which hosts images but rather have the screen be integrated into the buildings skin.

This is the Kunsthaus Graz building in Austria. It has a BIX (Big Pixel) facade which lights up at night. I really like how the surface is curved rather then a flat facade. It provides a more dynamic aspect to the building and to the images applied to it.

This is the Arab Institute in Paris and has a facade which acts like a series of cameras. Each panel is made of tiny apertures which restrict and open mechanically according to the sun's intensity. Thereby controlling the amount of light which enters the building.
