TRANSMATERIAL 4-12

Elumins

Properties:

-          Applies electricity to copper dipped in zinc ink. Light last for around 3500 continuous hours.

-          Can form many shapes as the base material is copper.

-          The light is cold and there is no ultra violet rays emitted, therefore it is safe.

Sizes:

-          The light is emitted in a uniform fashion across and given surface up to an area of 3.5metres squared. To put onto the hotels façade, need many of these to cover up the façade for the light media textures.

Uses:

-          Interior design

-          Product design

-          Advertisement lighting

This will be used for our façade for the media light textures. Because we need many of these to cover up the façade, we will take advantage of this and make it into a file form to cover up the façade. This will make it easier to control which lights will be turned off and on during the media light texture show.

Tiled Wall

Properties:

-          Ceramic tile from a projected background. The background illuminations appear when the tiles are pushed.

-          The reflective tiles reflect the light that is emitted from the background.

Sizes:

-          Size depends on how much tiles are used. Can cover up façade.

Uses:

-          Lighting

-          Feature wall

-          Interactive Structure

Tiled Wall is put onto the façade, not as an interactive structure. The tiled wall will be controlled by the computer to push the tiles in at the right time so that it gives the façade that wave movement. The parts that is pushed down will emit light, so no extra light source is needed other than the one on the background of this.

Deco Wired Glass

Properties:

-          Created low-relief surface pattern, three dimensional qualities to glass

-          Stainless steel knitted into glass to reinforce, therefore durable and strong

Sizes:

-          Available in different sizes

Uses:

-          Walls

-          Façade panels

-          Double Glazing

-          Table tops

-          Doors

-           Cupboard fronts

Our main use of this will be on the façade of the utopia hotel where the media texture is applied. The light can be used to show the media textures as this glass is not completely transparent, but still transparent enough to let light in during the day time. This can be developed so that the glass itself can move like the texture even without the light media textures being applied to it.
