Since the Industrial Revolution, human activity has dramatically altered the Earth's climate, with industrial growth and mass production leaving a lasting environmental impact. These changes have sparked a global call for more sustainable practices across industries, including architecture.
In response, architects have embraced strategies aimed at minimizing environmental harm, one of which is the development of bioclimatic responsive facades, often referred to as smart skins. These innovative building elements are designed to adapt to their surroundings, improving energy efficiency and reducing ecological footprints.
This dissertation explores the concept of smart facades, examining their classifications, key components, and potential applications in modern architecture. Through computational modeling and analysis, the project delves into their ability to redefine sustainable building design.
