B2 house

one of our first assignments for this year pays attention to B2 House, Turkey. We are tasked with creating a new screening system whereby the screen opens and closes in a vertical manner as apposed to the conventional horizontal sliding type.

Ones initial thought is how difficult could that really be? An easy task? yes, but we have specific instructions/limits... these make our task a bit tough to resolve. After some time consuming research I have managed to find a solution - cables.

An interesting focal point of this design, is the location of the pivoting point. It is situated fairly close to the wall/window frame, allowing minimal space wherein a counter weight is to be incorporated.

During this weeks lectures, we as a class assessed possibilities in resolving key problems - i unfortunately had to get back to the drawing board and rethink my approach.

So far my concept works, but its a matter of tweaking my drawings, this however will only happen this weekend as i have another project due.

If time allows, ill try post my drawings this weekend.
