KINETIC ARCHITECTURE IN SUSTAINABLE MEANS
(a) A view for a group of the mashrabiya diaphragms while functioning (b)A detail of the medium sized diaphragm). (c) A detail of small diaphragm.
Reason for Motion:
10%-30% of Daylight
The mashrabiya unites are functioning as diaphragms of a camera shutter. These metallic irises filter the sunlight through the glazed surface, allowing 10% to 30% of the light to be kept.

Kinetic Design Key Elements: 
Structural Innovation & Materials Advancement: 1) Structural Systems: The structural system is a steel frame with different spans according to the general shape of the building. Steel columns, beams, trusses and secondary supporting elements for the curtainwall facades were used. 2) Used Materials: Stainless steel, aluminium, tempered glass, plastics, marble and finally the mashrabiya diaphragms.
