Description: 现代建筑里从地板到天花板都镶嵌着玻璃窗。它可以给我们一个壮观的景色，但是它们也需要消耗很多的能量去降温。Doris Kim Sung 研究的热双金属和智能材料会动态地和感应地调节温度，就好似人的皮肤一样，并且可以为房间遮挡阳光和自我通风。

Doris Kim Sung:可以呼吸的金属

Modern skyscrapers with vast glass facades depend heavily on air conditioning, wasting energy and overheating cities. Inspired by the way human skin responds to heat, a new generation of building materials called thermo-bimetals can shade, ventilate, and adapt without using any power or controls. Early prototypes include 14,000 unique metal pieces that curl and move as sunlight shifts, letting buildings cool themselves naturally. This approach could eliminate the need for blinds, shutters, and even some traditional ventilation systems.
