A Redesign Procedure to Manufacture Adaptive Façades with Standard Products
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2018 Although their potential for high environmental performance is largely accepted, adaptive façades have not yet become widespread in practice. Most of the current examples are developed by engineer-to-order design processes, as project-oriented, custom ...

Evaluation of Adaptive Facades: The Case Study of AGC Headquarter in Belgium
Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2016 The evaluation of adaptive facades presents a challenge because there is no established evaluation strategy to systematically reach this goal and many of the available façade performance evaluation tools have limited applicability for such advanced ...
