| summary |
New engineered materials present an excellent opportunity for architects and researchers to reimagine traditionally static building components as dynamic and shape-changing. Bistable materials show two zero energy states and can transition between them with the input of a small force. These engineered materials have yet to be explored for large-scale architectural applications. This study presents a digital workflow for designing a kinetic shading system for facades with bistable laminates. The workflow includes an FEA model that predicts the curved shape of bistable laminates and a digital simulation model that predicts the natural light performance of the resulting kinetic screens. We describe the workflow and demonstrate its use with a case study of a manually operated bistable facade. The study forms part of a larger research agenda to develop kinetic architectural systems using bistable and smart materials. |
