Greenpix Zero Energy Media Wall
Beijing, China
Designed by Simone Giostra & Partners Architects, Arup
This project uses pv panels to absorb solar energy throughout the day and then powers the LED lightshow at night.
I think this is showing what happens at sunset when the facade is transitioning from day to night mode.
Pretty cool as a PV-LED system.

Another envelope system using lighting as a spectacular feature.
Looks nice at night, but seems like during the day it just stays off. If not, the lights are probably a lot less impressive during daylight hours.
FLARE Kinetic Membrane Facade
This is sold as a product. A pretty cool modular system consisting of a series of kinetic mechanisms. See video.
A nice idea in terms of thinking about an interactive facade.
Now that I`ve got some of my thoughts down, time to start thinking about how this is going to translate to my studio project.

Just be mindful that even though it is Vegas, I need you to all have a grasp on what the architecture is trying to accomplish beyond perform some complex motion and grab attention. Everyone must also look to the architecture in tandem with the envelope as it is imperative that we do not lose ourselves in the detail.
