Building Facade That Changes Every Hour

submitted by cricket

8 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

This facade changes continuously; each day, each hour shows a new "face" - the facade is turning into a dynamic sculpture.

We wrote a dedicated choreography for the new Kiefer technic facades, which we would like to present to you in this video clip.

Awesome, but if I was working in that building, I would get pretty pissed when it constantly changed the lighting conditions on me with no ability to stop it.

Heh, that's what I was thinking.

"I worked my way up to get an office with a window, and now 50% of the time it won't have a window? wtf"

Too many moving parts...but fun to watch....
