# Sculptural Environmental Sun Shields This UV-Resistant Shielding Space is Imagined for Australia By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-11-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uvresistant-shielding-space References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2021/11/10/this-architectural-structure-is-uv-resistant-protective-shell-that-operates-like-a-bionic-flower/) This UV-resistant shielding space has been conceptually designed as an architectural structure for Queensland, Australia as a way to make the [public space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion) a little safer from solar radiation. The structure makes use of [solar energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-pavilion) along with green fluorescent protein as well as an ultraviolet module to create a bionic shield against harmful UV rays during the daylight hours. The structure will reveal a light-up aesthetic after dark to make it a wonder to admire after the daylight hours. The conceptual UV-resistant shielding space is the design work of Chsiao-Yu Sun and Chien-Hsun Chen, and would be capable of shifting in its orientation throughout the day to offer enhanced protection from the sun according to conditions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Uv-resistant Architecture:** There is an opportunity for architects and designers to integrate UV-resistance into their designs for safer public spaces. - **Green Energy:** There is potential for further development and integration of green energy sources in architectural designs. - **Bionic Shielding:** Developments in biotechnology can be integrated into architecture to create bionic shielding against environmental factors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** The concept of UV-resistant designs can be explored by architects and designers to create safer public spaces. - **Energy and Power:** The integration of green energy in architectural designs presents potential opportunities for the energy and power industry. - **Biotechnology:** The integration of biotechnology in architectural designs presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the biotech industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Light-Equipped Outdoor Sun Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-starry-night-sun-shade.md) - [Creative Sun Safety Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-safety-installation.md) - [Marine-Grade Sun Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shibumi-shade.md) - [Natural UV-Blocking Bioactives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stress-activated-cyanobacterial-uv.md) - [Sun-Shielding Sheet Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-sunshield-peptide-patch.md) - [Transparent UV Protection Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunshield-peptide-patch.md) - [Jelly Multi-Shield Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-multi-shield-sunscreen.md) - [Slated Phenolic Board Sunshades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ensombra.md) - [Protective Skin-Brightening Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tanologist-super-shield.md)
