A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Adjustable plantation shutters and methods for forming and installing the same. A shutter includes a frame that includes a base portion with a hub and an arch portion coupled to the base portion. The shutter further includes a plurality of louvers extending from the hub toward the arch portion, each louver including a pivot axis. The shutter is configured to selectively transition between a closed orientation and an open orientation by rotating each louver about the pivot axis. In some embodiments, each louver is operatively coupled to the arch portion via a magnetic coupling. In some embodiments, each louver is coupled to the hub via a corresponding drive pin, and the shutter further includes a drive mechanism operatively coupled to each louver to pivot each louver about the respective pivot axis.
