21. The Modular Light Shelf
Principle and advantages
Triangular elements that:
•Redirect light
•Click together
•Look nice
Advantages:
•Optimal light reflection
•Optional shadow area
•Build your own shape

22. The Modular Light Shelf
An element based shelf that brings light in to your house

23. Optimal light reflection
Rotation of the reflective panels

24. The mechanics
Two rotating systems

29. Problem of current systems

30. Polarisation filters!

31. The working of polarisation filters
Parallel orientation:
Transparent
Perpendicular orientation:
Non transparent

32. How to prevent round windows?

33. By catching the rotation in a
pattern!

34. Step 1 = 100% transparent

35. Step 2 = 75% transparent

36. Step 3 = 25% transparent

37. Step 4 = 0% transparent
