RainScreen
We will take as our starting point the static screen.
We will construct a kinetic rain screen system.
We define a kinetic rain screen as a non-structural system that offers natural ventilation, based on moisture sensory, with the ability to create a water tight seal.
We will take as our starting point Prototype 07.
We will test materials.
We will test size.
We will test form.
We will test performability.
We will test aperture.
We will test the ability to achieve a waterproof seal.
We will build it as well as computer models and diagrams.
