My project modernizes the traditional mashrabeyeh as a versatile sun control system. It consists of four panels, each adorned with distinct geometric patterns. These patterns vary in size, allowing users to layer them strategically to regulate sunlight. The mechanism facilitates easy panel selection and arrangement, ensuring flexibility in light management.
