Concept
This project features a dynamic façade that responds to joystick movements, allowing users to control the orientation of its panels toward the north, south, east, or west. Each direction activates a different sound and colored light, providing both auditory and visual feedback that complements the tactile control.
For example, a high-pitched tone and red light indicate movement to the north, a low-pitched tone and red light to the south, a medium tone and yellow light to the east, and a soft tone with blue light to the west.
This combination of light, sound, and movement makes the system more intuitive, accessible, and safe, transforming the façade into a living, communicative element within the urban environment.

In summary, the joystick embodies the convergence of human control, digital technology, and kinetic architecture. Its potential lies in restoring to both designer and user a tactile and emotional dimension of the architectural experience, transforming façades into sensitive, adaptive, and profoundly human systems.
