Investigating bionic adaptable canopies in reactive architecture

Responsive architecture is a type of architecture that measures real conditions (using sensors) so that the building can adapt itself to the surrounding conditions in terms of form, shape, color, and features. This research presents the environmentally adaptable coatings used in contemporary reactive architecture and examines different design approaches and brief analysis of case studies. The aim of the research is to collect the built examples of the set of adaptable facades, in accordance with the latest modern developments and also to understand their environmental performance. Descriptive research method and anatomical analysis of applied samples. Research findings show that adaptive vision systems require a large amount of energy to activate sensors and actuators, which should ideally be less than energy saving. These aspects must be considered to ensure the stability of the systems. On the one hand, increasing performance is achieved by reducing energy consumption by optimizing the building envelope, and on the other hand, minimizing energy consumption and consumption of raw materials (taking into account the latent energy of building components).
