2024 - The control of light

We need to stop making the sun our enemy. It is true that due to prefabricated systems, we can enjoy spaces free of light, to the point of depriving ourselves of it in some areas, but there is no middle ground. If we can somehow pass through or dilute more concrete so that the light reaches the buildings in a pleasant way, but what if the answer may not be concrete? A polymer that dilutes the entry of sunlight could help more than you think. How? With the proposal of a system similar to “smart glass” only that applied to this polymer, it goes from passing 70% of light, to lower percentages, depending on the thickness, and layers before reaching ground level.

When I built this structure with my brother for the cafeteria, we thought that we wanted a space that would not be disruptive with nature, but we wanted the sun’s rays to not reach 100% and we wanted not to use concrete because we did not want to eliminate 100% of the light. The answer was, let’s do something to dilute the light. The proposal to the idea is to integrate a switch to activate this system, on and off, controlling the light. The proposal to the idea is to integrate a switch to activate this system, on and off, controlling the light. Create shading devices for a building and its different spaces depending on the activities of each area. Now we are filtering the sun. Light can be diluted through levels, combining existing building spaces, to be able to bring calculated light to each designed sector inside a building.
