It also identifies the emerging market for controls, sensors, and dynamic building systems that place kinetic facades within reach of a variety of architectural projects, with a conclusion that ...

Kinetic Architecture: Designs for Active Envelopes is a book about energy. We have written it to explore the new ways architecture has developed in the last decade to respond to the flow of energy ...

A slight breeze is all that’s needed to make this kinetic cladding developed by EXTECH run riot. The Kinetic Single Point Flappers, unlike the company’s two-pin and rod-mount predecessors, use a new ...

The envelope itself can be green. According to Hassan, today’s Bio-Facades help the building’s envelope interact biologically with the surrounding environment. “A more mechanical concept are Kinetic ...

The front cover of Kinetic Architecture: Designs for Active Envelopes is intriguing. Is the image part of an alien spacecraft, an insect carapace or giant origami? Actually, it is a close-up of a ...

They describe how the envelopes work in concert with other building systems—systems for lighting and daylighting, active and passive cooling, and natural and mechanical ventilation—to create a ...
