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 ...
