Responsive Skylights
Client:MIT KDG Sponsored Research Project
Design+Fabrication: Michael Fox
The Responsive Skylights is a networked system of individually responsive skylights that function together to optimize thermal and day lighting conditions. The unique aspect of the Responsive Skylights lies in kinetic function, human interaction and adaptive control under realistic operating conditions. Adaptive control being that the system would be capable of learning the usage patterns on a daily basis. Primary design considerations are to utilize natural daylight in the space where and when it is desired and to optimally take advantage of natural ventilation.
