Design Development, prototyping, evaluation, fabrication & installation of an Elastic-Kinetic Material-Gradient Facade Shading System : FlectoFold
This Large scale demonstrator is being exhibited as part of BauBionik Exhibition opening today at Schloss Rosenstein in Stuttgart, Germany.
If material gradient is the answer, then what was the question !
✻
If FRP is the material solution for climate adaptive building envelopes, then the question is, how will it impact architecture.
ESR12- MATERIAL GRADIENT FRP
✻
Current practices emphasise the stiffness of material to ensure structural performance. Building systems such as louvers or other adjustable shading systems and employ mechanical means to activate change.
