Title
Controlling The Opacity Of A Building Envelope By A Triangular Two-Color Two-Dimensional Cellular Automaton
Abstract
This paper presents the system based on cellular automata (CA) for controlling the average opacity of any triangulated surface, in particular serving as a building envelope. The concept is based on the emergent and modular qualities of CAs and is proposed for a practical application in the field of architecture. The concept of triangular cellular automata (TCA) is explained, followed by application of totalistic (tTCA) and semi-totalistic (stTCA) TCA on an imperfect test mesh, that is a mesh with voids and nodes of various degrees. Preliminary analysis of the behavior of these TCAs at various types of initial conditions in the context of shading purposes is presented.
