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.

Shading on Photovoltaic Collectors on Rooftops
Applied Sciences, 2020 Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems in urban environments play an important role in solar electric energy generation. Shading on PV collectors, by self-shading, walls and fences on rooftops, affect negatively the output energy of the PV systems. Increasing

Learning single-image 3D reconstruction by generative modelling of shape, pose and shading [PDF]
, 2019 We present a unified framework tackling two problems: class-specific 3D reconstruction from a single image, and generation of new 3D shape samples. These tasks have received considerable attention recently; however, most existing approaches rely on 3D ...
