The Dynamic House!
Today's trends in architecture point
towards finding smart building solutions, that will make use of natural
energy, consume as little power as possible, and at the same time - keep
everything aesthetic, comfortable and beautiful. Once in a while, a
great idea surges forth and amazes us all.
Usually, houses are built to be
suitable to the local climate. So, for instance, a house built in the
North of Scotland will usually be built to maintain internal heat, while
a house built in Arizona will work to cool the interior.
And here comes D*Haus, the amazing dynamic house that can change its shape to suit the current weather!
|
This house is the brain child of
British architects David Groenberg and Daniel Wolfson, who wanted to
come up with a house that will be suitable for any weather, cold or
warm. Their creation, D*Haus, can change its shape in 8 different
combinations, that react to the changing seasons, meteorological changes
and even astronomical changes. |
Using special rails, the various
parts of the house can change their location. One can set an automatic
program that will slowly change the house according to the trajectory of
the sun, thus enabling its residents to enjoy the sunlight all day
long. Solar panels power this amazing creation. In addition, the house's
thick outer walls can open up to interior walls and so glass becomes
the outer wall, and lets the sunshine in. Doors can become windows and
so release pent up heat. |
The architects used a 100 year old
mathematical idea by Henry Dudney. Now, 100 years later, his work has
joined with their creativity to create this amazing dynamic house. |
