This project demonstrates \"Squama,\" a window with partially programable transparency, as a component of \"programmable architecture\", in which these architectural elements can be controlled by program according to the environment and the user's preferences. Squama is a system that consists of a matrix of electrically controllable transparency liquid crystal dimming films, a controller, and sensors that detect the environment and human behavior, enabling the user to program the degree of transparency to achieve both privacy and a sense of openness, and to control shadows. In Sony CSL \u2013 Kyoto, We are exploring the ideal form of programmable architecture by replacing the partitions and the shoji screens in Japanese-style tearoom in our office with Squama. Technically, we are designing a controller to control the dimming panels based on the information from the sensors and are working on the implementation of the controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/squama.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/squama.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/squama-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/squama-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-398","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1289,"href":"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/398\/revisions\/1289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sonycsl.co.jp\/kyoto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
