Abstract
A shading device controlled by a cellular automaton (CA) for use in architecture has been prototyped. The implementation consists of selecting the class of CA, designing the logic circuits, and fabricating the units, followed by design of the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel and the acrylic casings.
