Integrating Ferrofluid and Architecture

In a pioneering exploration of sustainable design, our project delves into the innovative application of ferrofluid technology inspired by traditional Iranian architectural elements like "shebak" and "Girih tiles." By integrating ferrofluid— blended with a transparent suspension liquid— into windows, we harness its magnetic properties to revolutionize energy management within architectural spaces. Through the interplay of light and temperature sensors, the ferrofluid dynamically responds to environmental cues, regulating internal temperature and light levels with precision.
