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 ...
