intelligent ornament:

brief

The home should be a place for self expression and

creativity. In light of enriching ones experience and creating

an environment that responds to ones activity and presence,

the idea of bringing performance and spectacle to the home

comes into play. Hence, manipulating textiles and soft sur-

faces becomes a catalyst for such an intervention, and so

the question of what is an intelligent ornament is brought

to the table.

2 ways of how an intelligent ornament can react in a space:

01.Communicating information (one way) no specic input

02.Communicating + Storing (two way) specic input + out-

put

Light Emmiting Window Treatment

Lighting a space is no longer limited to a fxture

Creating a smart window treatment that combines

exible photovoltaic panels in conjunction with LED lights.The idea is to store as much energy during the day and

release it during the night when needed. The treatment is

programmed to respond to human activity in the space main-

taining a seamless transition through all 3 stages.

3 stages of performance:

01. Highest intensity = full activity.

02. Dim down = less activity (reading, TV, etc..)

03. Off = no activity
