Arduino test

Arduino controls the cushion panels via motion sensors.

Technical validators

The Technical implementation is based on:

Florian Eckardt Technology tutor, was one of the engineers on the Eden Project in England where ETFE air cushions made up the entire building.

He also wrote an article in 'Gevelbouw' on the Allianz Arena in Germany where ETFE cushions were used that are able to color the whole building.

Rink de Vries Buitink Technology - sailmakers technical specification and manufactering and development of ETFE air (printed) cushions

Anette LeCuyer She wrote the book ETFE - technology and design.

This is a book about the history of the architectural fabric and the current implementations of it. It has many example projects and details.

Walter Aprile we would like to work with him to find the most appropriate arduino system.
