Climate change goals will require significant improvements in the way buildings are constructed and operated. Building reuse can combat climate
The prominence of climatically responsive building facades through the use of kinetics has proliferated in recent years due to a concern for the
Architectural preferences for commercial building continue towards increased transparency resulting in large lites of glass with minimal visual
Architects and facade planners require that anisotropies or haze, optical phenomena disturbing the clear appearance of a glass, have to be avoided
Driven by an increasing demand for high thermal and acoustic performance, transparency, and low maintenance costs, a number of facade innovations
This paper will address the potential of ornamental architectural terracotta surfaces to mitigate the effects of climate fluctuations that will
The project described in this paper explores the integration of custom-made soft robotic muscles into a component-based surface. This project is part
Computer simulations of an automated dynamic facade in a passively heated and cooled building by using predictive modeling of short-term future
This paper outlines the successful implementation of digital workflows between the design team composed of Architect, Structural Engineer and Project
The conventional modern facade is essentially flat, which creates the tendency toward visual monotony and problems for modulating daylight—both on
3.5 billion years ago, cyanobacteria created the foundation for life on Earth by producing the oxygen basis for our atmosphere. Should we once again
Providing a unique and integral cladding/envelope solution suited for high-rise buildings has been an inherent challenge for this building typology
