This sequence of images above are taken from a motion picture by Tessellate Adaptive Facade Systems, that deliver interactive facade screening devices. The devices are self-contained, framed screens whose perforated pattern can continually shift and evolve that regulate light and solar gain, ventilation and airflow, privacy and views. The panels can be constructed in various metals or plastics, with these layers moving and overlapping on another.

Exterior Facade of the Institute of the Arab World-Paris.
Interior perspective of the Institute of the Arab World-Paris.
The building was designed in the 1980's by French architect Jean Nouvel, who created the arab inspired motiffs consisting of metal lens shells that gradually open and close depending on the amount of light. The interior offers an inspiring user experience based simply on this movement, although Jean Nouvel has used a similar concept in another commercial office design in Dubai - indicating that incorporating interactive facade surfaces to a building may have a sustainable advantage as it easily adapts to difference building occupations.
