Capillary Transportation Mechanisms: The Fluids move according to its type by filltration & reabsorption due to difference in pressure, by diffusion or through the intercellular clifts known by sinusoids

Electric to Sound Pulse: The brains transmits electric signals to the atria & ventricles resulting in the heart chambers’ contraction through the valve. The closure of the valve flaps creates two distinct heartbeat sounds.

Virtual volume changes in relation to electric pulses creating sound

Sound scraper covered with noise senstivie silica to reduce urban noise

The kickstart is to choose a phenomenon and study its transformation to develop a shape shifting mechanism. The in depth investigation and behavior extraction was divided among the group members.

Heart Valve Kinetic Motion The Motion is caused by pressure of blood contracted by pulses. An Inverse process was concluded as the sound energy comes from outside noise so, the facade moved due to the intensity of the sound, resulting electric energy

Aimed To-Do! Extracting the phenomena in the heart to deduce parameters and relate them to real life architecture skin precedents and the different parameters that could be added

Adaptive structure powered by pressure of people movement (piezoelectricity)

Blood Motion & Flow Fluids that move through vessels are Plasma (liquid portion), the blood cells (red & white) and the cell fragments (platelets)

What’s NEXT! - Detailing the precedentss to understand the mechanism applied. - Extracting keywords from each biomimicry phenomon and relating them to architectural parameters that affect the skin.
