This observational analysis reveals improved thermal performance in curtain wall buildings, suggesting origami-based designs may optimize energy use and aesthetics.
This paper explores the integration of adaptive façade systems in curtain wall buildings as a means to enhance energy efficiency, thermal performance, and visual comfort. Starting from the geometric versatility of the hexagon and drawing inspiration from origami folding principles, the study proposes a kinetic external shading system capable of responding dynamically to variations in solar radiation. The design is inspired by principles of biomimicry and aims to contribute both aesthetically and functionally to the building envelope.
