Abstract

Dynamic building skin is an intelligent and transformable skin system, which can improve the climate adaptability of buildings by combining active and passive technologies into the building. The design of dynamic building skin with environmental response strategy is a bottom-up process based on the optimization of the physical performance of the building. With case studies and the development and building of a physical model, the article presents a design method of a dynamic building skin system that responds to light environment information, providing new possibilities for climate-adaptive building design.
