I created this structure using Grasshopper and Rhino3D software. It presents a performative and responsive approach to architecture as the façade compromises of panels that respond to UV light according to direction and strength. This enables the bridge to incorporate a climatic control providing sufficient ventilation of natural wind and sunlight. In the video below it presents how the façade surface changes and responds according to the orbit of the sun represented as the sphere. This was produced in grasshopper by utilising the centre of the sphere (sun) as an attractor point. The coordinates of this attractor point independently changes the size of the ventilation squares. In Grasshopper, I used a colour spectrum from green to red to isolate which panels of the façade would receive the most UV light and adapt by a certain degree. This adaption is presented through the following video:

This is a video exploring adaptive louvers made in Grasshopper for the space requirements area of the bridge. Incorporating this technology, outputs a performative and responsive approach to architecture through environmentally driven structures. Using parametrics in Grasshopper allows for relative input adjustments to the angle of each louver across a surface rendered with particular geometry on it. This geometry represents sunlight, the higher the intensity of sunlight the greater the angle of that particular louver will open by.
