FROM MY COMMENT IN REGARDS TO THE LAST POST:
also, what about embedding the lighting within some of the hexagons [in addition to the rings of light within the skin]? - like each hexagon could be thought of like a pixel. we could project images and possibly advertisements along the skin of the silos. and these pixel hexagon lights could also reflect the storage capacity in their intensity. [see the next post for reference images]





of course, the scale of our silos is not as grand. but i still find the concept to be very strong and innovative.

  1. I really like this idea - it take the whole facade and turns it in to a giant screen - this screen facade offers a great deal of control and - it provides the ability to customize the facade for advertisements, information, and light based art shows - even if this only happened on part of the facade - in a non green section it could add a lot to what the towers offer

  2. so it is the 25th hour and i do not see this being implemented in our designs - but that is not to say that we can not mention it as a possibility in the next stage of development of the project. i think i will add these cited images to our powerpoint presentation, and maybe even the boards. they could even be briefly mentioned on page 15.
