The research aims to develop an environmental-responded façade system, finding a sustainable solution from passive design strategie. This prototype demonstrates a architectural application of biomimetic design strategies from a study of Saguaro Cactus, in addition to a parametric design.
Overall geometry, the curved facade is not only responded to its functional requirement which shown as pocket spaces, both exterior balconies and interior spatial node, but also create a fluid-flow lamina effect along façade surface, avoiding unpleasant air flow turbulent. The façade surface is filled with a component designed to provide self-shading and ventilation property. Geometry of each cell is customised to respond to its orientation, cell recessed depth and opening size are well-tuned to provide maximum self-shading property and fluid dynamic effect.
Multiple software were used to create this project, both generative and analysis programs. Ecotech and Ansys were utilised as analysis tool to study behaviour of ribs geometry and component performance while Rhino3D with Grasshopper assist with python script creates a component geometry responding to its environment and orientation provide the maximum facade performance according to the designed form.
This project is based on and further developed from a research project, Saguaro Cactus - Facade Articulation, in Biomimetic Workshop, Emergent Technology and Design, AA 2012, co-authored by Soungmin Yu | Dennis Goff | Theerapat Jirathiyut | Julia Koerner
