Independent Project2026

A study of a kinetic envelope, examining how hinges, pulleys and ball screws work together through spatial renderings, detail drawings and a physical model.

Spatial Rendering

Interior with exposed structural framing and a wire-driven mechanism

Hinge

Hinge detail showing the rotation axis of an inclined panel and its wire connection

Pulley

Pulley detail linking movement of the louver frame and wire

Ball Screw

Vertical movement detail at the ball-screw and frame connection

Working Model

Overall model integrating the moving frame, tension members and drive mechanism
Front view of the model showing the relationship between the ball screw and external frame
Drive detail showing connections between gears, threaded rod and tension members
Model test examining the movement of the upper drive mechanism
Working-model study examining component movement and interference
