photovoltaic system integrated into a glass curtain wall. the building performs as a self sufficient organic system, harvesting solar energy by day and using it to illuminate the screen on northern facade after drak, mirroring a day’s climate cycle.

a famous example of this technology is the media wall (beijing) with its first venue dedicated to digital media art.

it offers the most radical example of sustainable technology applied to an entire building’s envelope to date.

the facade is constituted by glass panels that integrate photovoltaic cells. each panel has a specific density.
