Abstract
Building envelopes manage several crucial functions,
including structural, thermal, hygric and aesthetic functions.
Classic fac¸ade concepts usually work with static elements like glass, metal or composite panels that primarily provide protection against the elements, and an additional layer of active systems that manage dynamic tasks like light protection or thermal regulation. Kinematic shell elements offer new ways to incorporate multiple dynamic functionalities into cladding
elements, and thus can help to generate new active, efficient and
aesthetic envelopes. We will introduce the concept of origami-inspired
multifunctional shell elements and discuss potential
applications.
