Week 4 - Architectural Matrix

Reflect on the lecture and develop a matrix of 9 proposals for how yours (or a classmate’s) architecture from Project 1 could respond to its context. Each proposal should be a short description. Your matrix should include the three environmental factors (sun, wind and rain) on one axis, and the interactive methods (toggle switch, incremental slider, and infinitesimal slider) on the other axis, as shown in the matrix below. Complete your matrix by 11:30pm. 

	Toggle Switch	Incremental slider	Infinitesimal slider
Sun	A single circular element that contracts and expands in accordance with light of the day, responding by either covering or uncovering the deck.	A series of squares that vary in opacity and size in response to the movement and use of a room.	Rectangular panels that vary in transparency responding to the inhabitants use of space and movement within a room.
Wind	The glass panels open when there is no wind present, but when wind is present they close.	Vents on the roof and walls that sense wind direction, speed and humidity, activating the window vent to open and close in responds to these senses, allowing wind to drive through the building.
Rain	The roof of the architecture turns transparent when there is heavy amounts of rain present.	A valve that has a low, medium and high device that collects rain water for the use of grey water. The level of water is depicted through the colour of the columns.	A series of turning metal panels that create patterns that fluctuate and rotate creating a feature wall on the exterior of the building.
