First Video: Roof with parabolic shape that "catches" incoming wind through gaps in the roof. These gaps can be opened and closed depending on the temperature and ventilation of the building. It serves to provide natural ventilation- inspired by wind catchers used by traditional Persian architecture.
Second Video: Window which can transition between transparent, opaque and semi-cover. This flexibility allow it to suit the comfort of the occupants depending on the intensity of the sun's glare or temperature. It serves to provide natural lighting and privacy.

This texture was chosen to highlight the unpredictable nature of the wind with which this roof was created to "catch"- a wind catcher-inspired roof which invites the surrounding wind for natural ventilation.
This texture is similar to the texture of a shutter with its horizontal linearity. As a result, it was chosen to emphasise the roller-blind nature of the window.
This texture was chosen to capture the dynamic circulation motion of the wind turbines.
