Little confused about the view from occupants. say, in sunny days, the "shell" will be unfold for most of the daytime, and people will be kinda living in a building with its curtains always closed. Anyway, it's good for energy saving if nothing goes wrong.

It can be controlled from inside if u wanna open it or close it it's an old concept in Islamic architecture
