Contemporary facade designs face the challenge of tightened building legislation, with high demands on both maximized user-comfort and minimized energy consumption. In order to cope with various states of both inner and outer climatic conditions, static fa\u00e7ade solutions seem inappropriate to fulfil a broader range of requirements. Dynamic solutions are needed instead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

The objective of the research is to unfold the potential of fa\u00e7ades to be both responsive and performative towards various climatic conditions, in order to achieve a good indoor climate and contribute actively to the low energy profile of the building.<\/p>\n

The research employs a methodology of research-by-design experiments to investigate the shape-changing surface abilities and material-embedded properties of multi-functional materials. The outcomes of these experiments are a series of proposals for alternative fa\u00e7ade concepts that extend the possibilities of climate-adaptive building design through dynamic behaviour.<\/p>\n
