TITLE: Advanced stud system design and installation
The project aims to support the ongoing wind pavilion project, which is intended to provide both shelter and generate electricity. The goal of this specific project is to design and construct the supporting structure for the pavilion.
This project utilizes advanced computational design tools to design and build a complex structure with CNC roll-formed steel studs. In collaboration with STUD-IO (https://studio-construction.com/), the project will manufacture a customized stud system to structurally support the wind pavilion.
Computation tools will be used to analyze each angle of the pavilion panels and find the custom size of structural studs. This customized design will be passed to a CNC roll-forming machine to manufacture each stud.

TITLE: Developing a dynamic shading system and evaluating its performance through advanced daylight modeling
The research involves investigating the temperature responsiveness of Nitinol coil springs and developing a method to incorporate them into commercially available window blinds through a responsive shading system. This system will allow the blinds to spontaneously rotate open at higher temperatures and return to their initial position when the temperature decreases, with the aim of improving indoor daylight levels for occupant health and wellbeing.
