Thermochromic Animation - Thermally-informed and colour-changing surface-configurations
ll factors of thermal comfort are invisible to humans and do not (yet) impact visual navigation in the built environment. Thermochromic materials change their colour relative to temperature. In architecture, their applications as responsive ornaments and as intelligent composite systems are discussed. Nonetheless, design research on their use together with computational design is scarce. This study investigates thermochromics concerning architectural surfaces. Design and material experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that thermochromic animation can be configured to visualise invisible parameters of thermal comfort. Scale prototypes were fabricated from different materials and coated with thermochromics. They varied in layer number and sub-coatings. The colour change was observed with several instruments. Heat transfer simulations of digital doppelgangers accompanied the physical experiments. The results suggest that this method can be used to configure thermochromic animation. This can be implemented into a procedural design model for porous and multi-layered thermochromic surfaces in the future. In this, digital simulation and material-based design are combined in a method that advances the use of thermochromic materials in the context of digital architectural design.
