Then I remembered a building I had seen in Function of Ornament that uses the same mechanism as a computerized aperture system. Been there. A lot of them do not work. (Paris, Arab World Institute, Jean Nouvel):
After watching Adryanne's video about 600 times, I attempted to model my own mechanical iris. This is a fabrication model made for the laser cutter. Haven't had it cut yet.
This is where I'm at now. Next idea is to make a network of these mechanisms that are controlled by a single rotating thing, or master cam as Vince calls it. After that I'm gona get to that whole structural steel portion of the competition.
Love Always,

P.S. Who is this Redux Lab guy?
Not sure if you've seen this, but I thought it was a cool video that uses the same concept of the iris
