The FLARE membrane developed by WHITEvoid is a modular system to create a dynamic hull for facades or any building or wall surface. Acting like a living skin, it allows a building to express, communicate and interact with its environment. Each stainless steel flake reflects the bright sky or sunlight when in vertical standby position. The FLARE system consists of a number of tiltable metal flake bodies supplemented by individually controllable pneumatic cylinders. When the flake is tilted downwards by a computer controlled pneumatic piston, its face is shaded from the sky light and this way appears as a dark pixel. By reflecting ambient or direct sunlight, the individual flakes of the FLARE system act like pixels formed by natural light.
