Smart System_Proposal

Structure: Fiber Reinforced Polymer
*Make it flexible and dynamic to external stimuli. Pinned structural connection for moment and flexing forces. May need to incorporate phase changing or secondary skin to allow for movements.
Cladding System: Various materials
* "Scaled System" : A rhomboidal overlapping system able to vary the adjacent positions of the individual components (and slide past each other).
* "Sub-divided triangulation system" : A triangulated cladding system in which the individual pieces may fold in to, or away, from their adjacent counterparts due to a pivoting axis.
Internal Membrane System: Barrisol Stretch Ceiling
* This may have a piezoelectric framing system which would gather energy when the system would flex.
Insulation/External Sealant & System
*Phase changing composite (thermal and pressure sensitive?)
*CRG Shape Memory Polymers? (Translucent)
*Sugru (Flexible, water proof, and heat resistant) silicone based polymer.
