Design Optimisation of Fixed and Adaptive Shading Devices on Four Façade Orientations of a High-Rise Office Building in the Tropics

Buildings, 2021
Optimisation of shading devices in buildings is a broadly investigated topic; however, most studies only focus on a single façade orientation, since the observed buildings are typically located in high latitude regions.

THE APPLICATION OF AN ADAPTIVE SOFT STRUCTURE FOR LIGHTWEIGHT FACADES

Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2022
Building façades play an important role in the performance of buildings. They define the architectural aesthetics of buildings and separate the occupied indoor space from the outdoor environment. Historically, façades were considered to be a load-bearing structural element and limited in their functionality and adaptability to environmental changes ...

Reciprocity on the Edge of Distance Paradox: How Sustainability Motives and Hypocrisy Shape Consumer Responses to Nearshoring

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing interest in corporate relocation decisions and sustainability, the existing literature is limited in its consumer‐centric approach. Integrating social exchange theory and construal level theory, this research investigates how consumers perceive sustainability‐driven nearshoring motives (i.e., socio‐economic vs.

The Role of Geometry for Adaptability: Comparison of Shading Systems and Biological Role Models

Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2018
Dynamic shading systems represent the majority of realised adaptive façades. It seems that geometrically complex kinetic solutions have increased in recent years, mainly due to the use of parametric design tools and digital production.
