Photovoltaic Honeycomb Glass Screen Façade
Daisuke Nagatomo - United StatesThis project is focused on the possibility of Honeycomb structure as lighting and structural system.
As seen in nature, honeycomb structure has durability, like Radiolaria, and also optical efficiency, like fly’s eyes. The energy generated by photovoltaic panels will be used to illuminate hi-efficiency LED lights system that will be held by honeycomb space frames. Each honeycomb panels will work as hexagonal pixels to project any kind of information onto the city. This facade will provide the opportunities that usual building facade to be ecological hi-performance large screen.
This lighting system is not only for illuminating the city, but reflecting
the needs for the information and entertainments.
