14 year old Finnish kid built the most unusual house on
the planet
Jouni Ikonen, 14 year old son of Finnish sculptor designed very
unusual house, reports architectural review magazine www.ark.fi.
Unique building is covered with special polymeric fiber panels that
change color by application of electricity. As a result Jouni
obtained chameleon house changing colors at will of its
owner.
As it is known, scientists already work in the field of chameleon
materials but it seems that young genius has found final solution,
as an upgrade of so called "smart" pigmentation polymeric fiber,
initially invented by Riohiro Akashi, and his colleagues from the
Fuji Xerox Company.
Sides of chameleon house coated with 1580 rectangle panels divided
into 11 groups, each group covers its own part of the structure.
Electricity comes by a wire from multi-channel hub DAC device
linked with standard PC. Overall process conducted by computer
software called Color Style Studio, it transforms standard RGB
color sets into LAB and allows to switch color schemes in visual
mode. Full house re-coloring take around 45 minutes.
Unusual house located in Kemi, Finland.
