The reaches of architecture are inherently linked to the efficacy of communication, and as emerging technology broadens the conceptual horizon of the
This paper develops a framework of considerations for the development of project specific performance criteria for the design of art museums and
Small towns are dying, and it is not just because of their dwindling economies. The physical fabric of our communities is literally crumbling. A
Adaptive facade systems are a promising approach to achieve a dynamic response to varying weather conditions and user demands. The interdisciplinary
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
A collection of available public assets to assist in your resilient and sustainable building design and delivery.
Thermal bridging through building façades have been overlooked by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to
Facades play a relevant role in the search for a more sustainable approach to modern architecture. The amount of embodied and operational energy can
FacadeRetrofit.org is an online resource for the AEC community, from architects to academic researchers. At the heart of this resource is a database of large commercial and multifamily buildings that have, or are currently undergoing, building facade retrofits.
We at Zaha Hadid Architects Computation and Design group (ZHACODE) explore the relevance of this resource-effective, experience-rich design and construction paradigm to both large institutional projects with complex geometry and mass-customisation, repeated unit projects with assembly complexities.
Today's sustainability in architecture takes into consideration the complete life cycle of buildings and their components, from resource harvesting
The prominence of climatically responsive building facades through the use of kinetics has proliferated in recent years due to a concern for the
<p>The building envelope is at the intersection of embodied and operational emissions. Curtain wall specifically could play an important role in…
Responsive facade system is considered a major component of high-performance building envelope that is capable of responding to environmental stimuli
Cost-effective, sustainable, self-actuating, thermally-responsive, bio-composite exo-skins that act like shields or cloaks for existing buildings
The research is structured around complex optical effects of undulated glass and coatings that exhibit high reflectivity, especially at higher
An Enclosure-Integrated, Daylighting, Tracking Solar Collector (EIDTSC) has been developed for market which integrates into a building’s fenestration
