A typology of adaptive façades. An empirical study based on the morphology of glazed facades

Cogent Arts & Humanities, 2021
A building’s façade is its main interface with the external environment. Adaptive façade, one recent invention in the façade industry, has the capability to change its behaviour in real-time to respond to internal and/or external parameters, by means of ...

Integrating interactive kinetic façade design with colored glass to improve daylight performance based on occupants’ position [PDF]

, 2020
The dynamic nature of daylight and occupant's position can cause some issues such as heat gains and visual discomfort, which need to be controlled in real-time operation.
