A Bit slow to start but gets better as it goes on
AutoGene A Choreographed kinetic sculpture by Peter William Holden using umbrellas automated like pistons producing a charming performance to Gene Kelly Classic, ‘Singing in the Rain’
From an interactive architecture perspective I can imagine this sorts of systems being connected to devices such as Leonardo Amerigo Bonanni’s proposed Blue Sky kinetic roof.
Also See wmmna’s recent post of an adaptive ‘polite umbrella’ for navigating through spaces that are usually problematic.
