On the use of tensegrity structures for kinetic solar facades of smart buildings

Smart Materials and Structures, 2015
We investigate the use of tensegrity structures with morphing and prestress-stability capabilities for the design of active solar facades of smart buildings. Morphing tensegrity lattices are used to design shading screens composed of umbrella-shaped 'eyes' that are opened and closed by adjusting the elongation in a limited number of cables ...

Kinetic facades as environmental control systems: using kinetic facades to increase energy efficiency and building performance in office buildings

2012
The primary purpose of the facade of a building is to protect the inhabitants from the outside environment. Although facades have historically been static systems, they are still designed to respond to many different scenarios. Often, facades are called upon to perform functions that are contradictory to each other.

Kinetic facades: towards design for environmental performance

2014
Over the past few decades, kinetic facades have emerged as alternative building envelopes, designed to meet the increasing of varying and complex demands related to user comfort, energy consumption and cost efficiency. This concept has been described in a number of ways, ranging from the usage of innovative components to highly complex designs and ...

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF KINETIC FACADES ON ENERGY, DAYLIGHT AND GLARE PERFORMANCE

Journal of Green Building
ABSTRACT The study focuses on the evaluation of the effect of the kinetic facade on energy, daylighting and glare performance of an office building by simulation method. A smart kinetic facade system was designed on the south and east surfaces of an existing office building in Konya by using the Rhino/Grasshopper tool and Honeybee and

Material Distribution in Metal Plates for Buckling Control in Kinetic Facades

2022
This thesis investigates the buckling and post-buckling behaviours of varied thickness distribution rectangular plates with three sides simply supported, one longitudinal edge free and a stress gradient applied to the two short edges. The primary aim of this thesis is to provide a design method for the thickness distribution of a plate that meets a ...

CONTRIBUTION OF ADAPTIVE FACADES TO SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURAL WITHIN THE SCOPE OF KINETIC ARCHITECTURE

2023
The development of technology has affected architecture as well as many other subjects; new concepts have emerged by developing various design approaches and applications. Two of these; they are kinetic architecture that represents movement in design and adaptive facades that make the building compatible with external factors by changing its features ...
