Developing Dynamic and Flexible Façade Design with Fractal Geometry

Abstract

The fact that built environments, which are necessary for people to survive by hosting organizations such as shelters, work, and service cannot meet the functional needs over time, creating a problem for investors, owners, and users. The way to deal with these problems is to have a flexible building design to suit the new conditions to change the capacity, function, and performance. The façade, which is highly affected by indoor and physical environmental conditions; should have a modular, similar, adaptable, and detachable system. In this study, façades with these systems are designed with fractal geometry features that mathematically define the complexity, self-similarity, and access to the macro scale from the micro scales. In conclusion, a façade system that can adapt to changes by making use of a fractal pattern and provide daylight and solar control in the interior with the electrical voltage applied to the glass surface has been proposed.
