i found this proposal by howeler + yoon to be very intriguing. rather than having one component responding to a dynamic environment, each unit works independently allowing the entire form to transform. the units are strung on irregular cables and funnel towards the ground, directing light and rain. the units operate using the reflective material lining the inner surface attracting solar power. i like that the canopy is used as an architecture element occupying the ceiling surface. i think the proposal could incorporate motion or sound tracking, having the ability to morph based on the sounds or actions beneath. maybe it could carry out a set of reactions based off predictions of the weather....
