来自Design Lab Workshop的Brian Peters和Daphne Firos是两位热衷探索3D打印技术的建筑师。他们的设计团队一直专注于一个实验性的建筑结构，这种结构结合了新的3D打印技术、新的智能技术（光传感器和光电）和可再生太阳能源利用。具体说来，它是由94块数字化设计制造的模块化3D打印构件（又名“字节”）组成的，被开发者称为太阳能字节亭。这个太阳能字节亭通过实验性的嵌入技术，在白天吸收太阳能储存起来，然后在晚上变成一个发光的结构，这94个模块每个都是用美国肯特州立大学机器人制造实验室的一台6轴机械臂3D打印而成的。研究人员将一把Mini CS 热溶胶枪装在了6轴机器人臂上，做了一个临时的熔融沉积成型的3D打印系统，而那把热熔胶枪就当挤出机使用了。

每个模块都是用半透明的塑料3D打印的。该结构可以在白天过滤阳光，而穿过的光线还能照射在传感器上，使其能够控制字节亭晚上发光。为了增强该结构的夜间光照效果，建筑师使用了一种可互锁的卡扣接头，以减少各模块之间的间隔距离。拱形结构具备更好的支撑性。可以更好地跟踪太阳在一天时间里的直射路径，获得尽可能多的太阳能。

The ‘solar bytes pavilion’ by design lab workshop during ingenuity fest in Cleveland, Ohio is an experimental project that highlights a potential for architecture, where buildings are fabricated using new techniques (3D printing), incorporate smart technologies (light sensors, photovoltaic), and are powered by renewable energy sources (solar power).

The pavilion is constructed out of 94 unique modules or ‘bytes’ (digitally designed and fabricated building blocks) that each have an integrated solar powered LED. the units were shaped with translucent plastic, allowing the structure to filter sunlight during the day and create a uniform glow at night. The effect is enhanced by the use of interlocking, snap-fit joints that reduce the visual division between each module and allow the arch to be self-supporting.

The overall form follows the path of the sun, spanning from east to west to maximize solar exposure. Each cell acts independently, capturing and storing energy, as well as sensing ambience levels for each individual fixture. This creates a recording of the sun’s exposure over the course of the day that is then reflected at night as the brightness of the LEDs increases. ‘For example, if it is cloudy in the morning and clear in the afternoon, the pavilion’s east side will be illuminated for a shorter period of time than the west side, reflecting those environmental conditions,’ the studio elaborates.

The work was physically realized using 6-axis robot arm in the robotic fabrication lab at in the college of architecture and environmental design at kent state university. A dohle hand welding extruder, the mini CS, was attached to the arm and used as the 3D print head using a FDM style printing process. The pavilion is a follow up to the award-winning project building bytes that was initiated by assistant professor brian peters and was the first series of 3D printed ceramic bricks.
