In western Australia, the sun?s takes center stage, generating the intense heat for which this region is known.
And while all this sun is great for daylighting, the resulting solar radiation also presents a major interior design challenge.
When it gets too hot, or too bright, inside, the interior environment quickly gets uncomfortable.
To address this issue, Australian architects Hassell designed the new business school at Edith Cowan University in Joondalup with an impressive installation of Hunter Douglas Contract sun louvers.
The ellipsoid array of aerofin louvers epitomize the melding of form and function. The louvers not create a sleek, active exterior, but also shade the building from heat and glare, deflecting solar energy far more efficiently than interior window coverings.
