Abstract

The research on Cellular Automata (CA) has already commenced in the first half of the twentieth century. However, since then only a few devices have been built based or inspired by them. Nearly a decade ago the concept of Cellular Automaton-based Shading System (CASS) for dynamic control of a Building Envelope has been introduced. This chapter presents two alternative approaches for the physical implementation of CASS based on 1. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology; 2. Relative rotation of elements made of polarized film, so-called Polarized Film Shading System (PFSS).
