Abstract
Smart materials are often studied in architecture due to their internal changeable properties stimulated by various material-specific input or operating factors. Meanwhile, climate-adaptive facades have been investigated for design and simulation to achieve dynamic aesthetics satisfying environmental performance for energy efficiency and indoor comfort. This paper presents a design exploration framework for climate-adaptive facades with thermally responsive smart materials, limiting the scope of study to a pilot study of facades in Seoul, South Korea. The proposed smart material building skins are discussed for further simulation and validation to assess multiple criteria to verify their environmental performance and implementation for practical use. The paper is concluded by providing selected thermo-responsive smart material facade types and directions for future work.
