This is the Hyperfast speed.
This is a trial to see if the sunshades auto extend and auto rotate to the suns angle to get the maximum shading. The angle is alway kept perpendicular to the sun. while the extension is kept from 0 to a maximum length of the height. Meaning to say of H is the height of 1 facade, then the length of facade L =< h ="0," l ="o.56H," l =" 0.99H."> Feel free to crit on this post
How Esplanade will look like if its using diagonal eggcrate louvres




Im working on a system of horizontal and vertical shades that retract and expand according to the sunpath. This kinetic movement allows 100% of the glazed envelope to be shaded at all times by direct sunlight.. Where the direct sun dont shine, the louvers retract back to allow views and day light in. It might look more boring than the folding rhombus of the esplanade currently.. but its definitely more efficient. Theis facade is optimised by kinetic means. The photos above might be how esplanade looks like in the hour 1700, 0900, 1200, 1400 (im sorry i dont know how to arrange in order)
