Intelligent Multifunctional Solar Urban Furniture : A multidisciplinary methodological vision of technology

This article details the process of innovation and validation of Solar Furniture, a multifunctional urban tree-type modular, which allows to obtain a constant shade throughout the day and in any season of the year thanks to its light and heat sensors, as well as of other services; connectivity, electricity, wifi and lighting thanks to its solar cells that generate clean and sustainable energy. In addition, the report describes the analytical tools used to create the theoretical design and subsequently defines the tangible structure of the product through a functional, formal and technological analysis, finally validates the proposed furniture through the virtual rapid prototype.
