Modern architecture is way beyond looking good. Designs today have to be dynamic and trendy so that they change as rapidly as the changing trends. But this is one design feature that achieves almost the impossible by changing the Devil in the morning to the holy Pope in the evening and making sure that Marilyn Monroe changes to Marilyn Manson by sunset. So the latter may not be as pleasant a change as the former, but it still is faster than most conventional walls could change their faces. This amazing new designing technique is all set to change the walls that surround your life constantly and will make the all the more dynamic.


Drzach & Suchy have created Shadow Casting Panels that that appear as one image in the morning light and another in the evening light. The technique allows you to choose shape and forms that you wish to be the face of your walls. It could vary from the abstract art of Picasso to the beautiful face of Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo and it could range from your liking of Elvis to characters like Shrek. Just does not matter as long as these guys are around to create what you need.

The technique of encoding multiple images in a panel, so that single images become visible under varying illumination was invented by Drzach in 2004 and then developed further by Drzach & Suchy. About time we had walls that reflected the personality and mood of those who lived in between them!
