ABSTRACT
Surfaces capable of modulating permeability have long been used in architecture for environmental control, but have remained largely unexplored as information displays. The advent of new shape changing materials and construction techniques promises to change this. In this paper, we describe Shutters: a curtain composed of actuated louvers that can be individually addressed for precise control of ventilation, daylight incidence and information display. We discuss related work, the underlying design principles behind Shutters, engineering details and application scenarios in architecture and fashion. We conclude with a comparative visual study for the use of permeability in kinetic and shadow displays and provide directions for future work.

Shape-changing interfaces
The design of physical interfaces has been constrained by the relative akinesis of the material world. Current advances in materials science promise to change this. In this paper, we present a foundation for the design of shape-changing surfaces in ...
Kinetics of Organic and Ammonia Removal in Swine Wastewater Treatment Using Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor
CDCIEM '11: Proceedings of the 2011 International Conference on Computer Distributed Control and Intelligent Environmental MonitoringA pilot-scale experiment with a treating3capacity of 10 m per day was carried out for swine wastewater treatment by using of a moving bed biofilmreactor (MBBR). The reactor was start-up in 60 days period and run for a year, and an average removal rate ...
Environmental Influencing Factors of Permeability on Contaminative Aquifer Medium by Ethanol Blended Gasoline
CDCIEM '11: Proceedings of the 2011 International Conference on Computer Distributed Control and Intelligent Environmental MonitoringDifferent ethanol concentration of gasoline components have a significant influence on the permeability of aquifer medium. Because the different of pollutant concentrations will change the environment of aquifer medium, bring on jamming the pore space ...
