Facade as Media Skin
1. Prof. Joachim Sauter, for a long time already, is investigating the integration of mediadisplays into fassades. Especially the development of sensitiv, intelligent or dynamsic surfaces. Here an article by him (2004) (unfortunately only in German):
Das vierte Format: Die Fassade als mediale Haut der Architektur
Joachim Sauter describes the facade as the fourth format, as interactive membrane between architecture an public space. He presents states of uses (Bespielungszustände) of media facades, that can be designed autoactive, reactive, interactive and participative... Temporary-permanent, before construction - after construction are aspects, also to be considered in the design of a city space that is increasingly integrates media. Technology ages quicker than architecture!
Concept "Expofassade" by C. Moeller, J. Sauter 1998
2. Here an other overview of various concepts of mediafassades by Alexander Wahl (2002), focussing on the different techniques that can create the dynamic effect on fassades (also only German):
Wandelbare (mediale) Gebaeudefassaden
