Concept
What if our façades could react to sunlight?
This project explores how architecture can respond to changing light conditions through simple automation. Using Arduino, it translates light intensity into movement, mimicking the adaptive behavior of a brise-soleil, and highlighting how design can respond to environmental change.

Schematics
The Arduino code was developed so it would be possible to detect the intensity of the light through the light sensor. This information would pass on to the servo motors, which would rotate and reach an angle according to the readings from the sensor. When it reaches the maximum or minimum openings (0 and 90° angles), the buzzer emits a sound to alert it.
Prototype
With the system ready, the popsicle sticks were attatched to the servo motors.
