Let the sun shine in. That?s clearly the principle architects at Gould Evans followed when creating the second of four buildings at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute.
For this project, Gould Evans envisioned an atypical laboratory complex wrapped in glass, observable to the outside world, and bright and airy within. Lined with offices and conference rooms, the north and east sides of the ingress building would need solar control for early morning and late-afternoon sun.
Their solution was an intriguing array of airfoil-shaped custom wood louvers by Nysan Solar Control, a Hunter Douglas Contract company. While these louvers serve a practical purpose, their primary purpose is aesthetic.
As users rotate the louvers, they create a constantly shifting appearance when viewed from the exterior. They?re nothing less than an interactive art piece.
