Responsive Shading System by
Arman Hadilou - United States
For architect Arman Hadilou, the intense summer heat in
Austin, Texas, spurred him to conceptualize the "Responsive
Shading System," a kinetic façade of massive strips of fabric
mounted on adjustable arms on the building's exterior. The
system responds to the elements, twisting the strips to
create bigger or smaller openings depending on the angle
of the sun and the time of year. In this way, Responsive
Shading System balances building energy efficiency with
the need to maintain views.
The air gap between the building's glass façade and
the fabric façade allows for ventilation created by
natural convection.
CON CL U SION
Given rising global temperatures, creating energyefficient buildings is more important than ever before.
With shade at the center of the design process, architects
can ensure energy efficiency is a priority, while also
creating aesthetically pleasing buildings that promote
occupant comfort.
