Solar Powered Curtains Smartly Control Shade [Concept]

The Compliant Shading Enclosure concept automatically regulates the volume of shade, shadow and lightweight that comes into a window. How? There\’s a curtain (the golf green thing) in between the glass panes that\’s programmed to open or close looking on the temperature

The concept is designed by Brent Vander Werf and is quite fancy:

The shading system utilizes a bi-metal element that’s bonded to high expansion and occasional expansion alloys. A slight change in temperature makes the alloys produce an opposing force, causing the element to deform and rotate. The system requires no maintenance or user input once installed, and by adjusting the parameters of the alloys, the mechanism can suit loads of climates.

Basically, it gets its directions from the surface temperature. When it\’s hot, the curtains are drawn back, when it cools down, the curtain are drawn in. The entire getup is powered by the sun (which makes incredible sense here) so you don\’t should worry a few tick. [ArchDaily]
