Through a combination of printed hygromorphic shading elements and an intelligent control system, the Solar Gate, integrated into the livMatS Biomimetic Shell, passively adapts to daily and seasonal weather cycles. The project consists of parallel developments in hygroscopic bio-based plastic filaments, the design and manufacturing of site-responsive motion, and the control and monitoring of climate-responsive facades.
