The Flare-Facade design
Check out this design by Flare Facade
The company has turned this building facade into a penetrable kinetic membrane.
What it essentially has done is breaking with all conventions of the building surface as a type of static skin. The FLARE system consists of a number of tiltable metal flake bodies supplemented by individually controllable pneumatic cylinders.
If you take a look closely at the metal flakes, each of them reflect the sunlight. But when the flake is tilted downwards by a computer "controlled pneumatic piston" the face of the Flare is shaded from the light and this way appears as a dark pix elated building.
