MOCK UP

Process Sketches 

Working out thoughts about materiality, configuration, and mechanical assemblies

Frame 

The first panel is attached to the frame and a secondary hinge is added to the base of the panel to allow for movement of second panel

Second panel is attached to middle hinge

Photo of the movement made possible by way of two hinges attached to original frame

Closer look at the second hinge at center between two panels

A rail is added to the frame to keep the panels movement restricted to the vertical

A closer look at the detail for the rail. This concept failed for the first mock up and needs to be worked out for another iteration to successfully holds the panels rigidly to the vertical axis and not allow for movement away from the frame

Pulley system is then added to allow for proper mechanization of the mock up.
