To paraphrase Robert le Ricolias, the art of the structure is where to put the folds. Using that inspiration, fundamental concepts from origami,
Tokyo’s prestigious Ginza District, is home to innovative architectural design. One of the most recent examples is Ginza Six (GSIX), the largest
Designing a multi-functional building envelope as an architectural façade, environmental interface and solar collector is a multi-objective
Big data is having a noticeable impact on enclosure engineering design. With continuing advancements that liberate the geometrical form and the
It may be difficult for modern man to believe that what is known as handicraft was once the advanced manufacturing of the day. These techniques were
Facade design is a key component of architectural expression, and increasingly a key design consideration due to growing importance of factors like:
High performance can be defined as “a building that integrates and optimizes all major high-performance building attributes, including energy
Building envelopes are not only an immediately visible part of the building, they have also become a major factor both for cost and performance of
The performative and visual aspects of curved forming/bending thin “formable” planar materials is explored. Early tests for deflection indicate that
Facades play an important role in the control of energy flow and energy consumption in buildings as they represent the interface between the outdoor
Airflow within the cavity of double-skin facades is a key component of adaptive building envelopes which change thermophysical properties to meet
