Russell Fortmeyer,Charles F. Linn: Kinetic Architecture: Designs for Active Envelopes
Description
A detailed case study explaining how complex multilayered facade systems create energy efficient, architecturally distinctive, and sought-after places to live and work. '"'Kinetic Architecture 'is, as intended a valuable resource for architects, engineers and students. This accessible, entertaining and pleasurable book with exceptional photography, is cleverly aimed at both professionals and those with a general interest in architecture and environment"' Architects' Journal A shift in the architecture industry's focus in the last 20 years toward ecological concerns, long-term value, and user comfort has coincided with significant new developments in digital controls, actuators, shading typologies, building physics simulation capability, and material performance. This collision has afforded architects an expanded set of opportunities to create architecture that can respond directly to environmental conditions, resulting in innovative facade designs that quickly become landmarks for their cities. Fortmeyer and Linn trace the historical development of active facades in modern architecture, and reveal how contemporary architects and consultants design and test these systems.
