Designing Kinetics for Architectural Facades: State Change

Architectural facades now have the potential to be literally kinetic, through automated sunscreens and a range of animated surfaces. This book explores the aesthetic potential of these new types of moving facades. From this background the basic principles of kinetics are defined and are used to generate experimental computer animations.
