Studio Exercise 4.

Reflect on the lecture and develop a matrix of 9 proposals for how yours (or a classmate’s) architecture from Project 1 could respond to its context. Each proposal should be a short description. Your matrix should include the three environmental factors (sun, wind and rain) on one axis, and the interactive methods (toggle switch, incremental slider, and infinitesimal slider) on the other axis, as shown in the matrix below. Complete your matrix by 11:30pm.

	Toggle Switch	Incremental slider	Infinitesimal slider
Sun	Toggle switch that slides the roof to the sides- opening it up.	Winding device that allows for roof to be inclined at certain angles, allowing sunlight into the shelter.	Cooling system that cools down the shelter during hot days. Roof shifts directions according to where the sun is- to shield the shelter.
Wind	Opens and closes the air vent to allow subtle amounts of air flow into shelter.	Allow for panels/ fins on the side of the architecture to open up and face certain sides/ angles.-	Wind gages on the side to indentify the direction of the wind.
Rain	Shutter panels descend from the exterior of the shelter to prevent rain seeping in. -	Rainwater flows down a pipe that is controlled by a slider of how much water comes down- filter at the bottom for fresh water. -	Umbrella system that slowly rises. -

In consultation with your tutor, select 3 of these proposals and hand sketch a storyboard for each one that you select. Each storyboard should include at least 3 states: before, during and after the architectural response.

Complete your storyboards by 12:30pm.
