Smart Windows/ New Techknology

I have finally come up with a interesting way to integrate new technologies into my building in a manner that enhances the overarching themes.

My building is called expression and it's from this title that I came up with my new technology integration. What I'm planning on doing is harvesting the kinetic energy of building users, this will be done through a series of spring mounted floor plates that capture the energy of vibration cased by people walking on them. The energy captured during this event will then be used to power the smart glass windows (glass that turns from transparent to translucent when electricity is passed through)which cover the facades of the buildings. The idea behind this is that when the building is in full use the people within will generate a large amount of electricity which will then make the facades transparent but when there is minimal use and little energy being harvested then the facades will appear solid or translucent. This will express the usage capacity of the building highlighting it in full use and hiding it when it's not.

This concept is to use new technologies to express the buildings usage in a manner much like that of the containers on the face of the building. It is also about having a constantly changing perspective of the building, which give the building deferent characteristics depending on the use and involvement.
