This research explores the development of an adaptive shading system inspired by the bio-kinematics of living organisms, aiming to enhance building façade performance in responding to changing climatic conditions.
Drawing inspiration from natural movements—such as the opening of flowers or wings—the study proposes a sustainable approach that balances light control, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency.
The paper presents kinetic mechanisms and digital prototypes applied to building façades, and evaluates their performance using environmental simulation tools.
