Abstract
Adaptive façade systems are a promising approach to achieve a dynamic response to varying weather conditions and to individual user demands. Within the framework of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1244 at the University of Stuttgart the use of adaptive systems and the related architectural potential is explored with the aim of reducing the consumption of natural resources as well as waste generation and hazardous emissions. The targeted parameters for the façade design include solar radiation, temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, daylighting, and user interaction. To generate an experimental platform for the research work, a 36.5 m high adaptive experimental tower, D1244, has been designed and built on the University campus. The temporary façade of the tower is currently being replaced floor by floor, in order to validate different research approaches. The first implemented façades focus on textile systems, because of their lightweight and the different functions that can be easily integrated. Further material systems will be investigated in the next future.
