Evaluation of adaptive facades: The case study of Al Bahr Towers in the UAE [PDF]
, 2017 peer reviewedThe assessment of adaptive facades presents a barrier as there is no established assessment technique. Many of the available facade performance evaluation systems or frameworks have limited applicability for such advanced building facades ...

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.

Adaptive reuse of industrial buildings for sustainability : analysis of sustainability and social values of industrial facades [PDF]
, 2018 This thesis examines an adaptive reuse approach to industrial facades for sustainability. It is natural that buildings become redundant for many reasons, such as changes in economic and industrial practices, cost of maintenance, and people’s perceptions.
