Future façades should be responsive to both internal and external conditions. With the use of parametric and multi-criteria optimization tools, façades can be designed to respond to various functional, programmatic and environmental requirements. Kinematic systems enable real-time modifications to ambient conditions. The capacity for building skin to actively support building...
