folds in Digital Project

One strip fold that when multiplied will hopefully become a surface.

Infographic inspiration

As the group moves along with the development of the radiant floor system for the client, we are thinking of infographics that we can use with thermochromic paint in the area of the house that we plan to install the radiant system. This is an awesome website that I go to to get inspired in graphic design.

testing folds

As part of the smart surface for my house I'm testing folding techniques that could translate into a form of wall insulation or movable wall panels.

Info on thermochromic paint

Here is the MSDS for thermochromic paint from http://www.ctiinks.com/. They seem to be the most current company using thermochromic paint in commercial applications. I was also able to gather information on how to mix it. We haven't had a chance to test the paint yet, but from what it seems the paint can be mix with different solvents.

inspiration! :D

Inspiration for proposal

In the haunt for inspiration for a smart surface proposal for our clients, I run into this studio that designs furniture and merges technology into it. The most interesting piece is the Minos Coffee Table! which uses thermochromic dye and wires that send heat to form patters. Here is the link! http://studio801.co.uk/works/show/?id=48 Anyways, if anyone out there has experience with thermochromic dyes or materials let me know!
Here is a website that sells testing kits! http://www.thermometersite.com/temperature-research-and-testing-kits/view-all-products.html.

Looking forward to propose an awesome project
