�e design of an Intelligent skin structure to retro�t existing high-rise of buildings in order to address the complex needs of a new environmentally focused economy and growingconcerns about how building impact the planet on a global scale.
Critical Position: �e capitalist mode of production has a huge impact on the way buildingsare designed and constructed. Architectural value is the victim of this political economy . �e result of this mode of production is the disconnection of buildings from the natural environment. �e purpose of this project is to investigate the development of holistic view of building in harmony with nature in order to �nd a new way to interconnect buildings with their natural environment and, more speci�cally, how energy saving strategies can be applied to existing buildings through the modi�cation and replacement of outdated enclosure systems with new state of the art “intelligent” skins.
ISSUE:
Existing curtain wall systems which designed with thermally Ine�cient systems. �ese envelops do not respond to the climatic variations needs of their context or provide a high level of user comfort through a direct interface with changing environmental conditions.
NBC BUILDING - NEW DOUBLE SKIN FACADE
SOLUTION:
�e notion of “ Intelligent skin ” is more than just the facade of a building. Intelligent skins become a dynamically changing building system that acts to reduce energy demand of the building and improve experimental qualityof interior space. �ey have a ability to control day lighting, manage heat gain and heat loss, incorporate natural ventilation, generate energy and providevisual connection between the sound interior and exterior environment.
