Reference facade
A key element in the system is the Folded Panels Solar Screen which helps to shade and lower the temperature of air in the exterior corridors and circulation spaces around the academic and residential spaces. The parameters of the solar screen design only required that it provides enough shading and open area to allow for successful natural ventilation of interior spaces.
While its intent is functional, they used the screens as an opportunity to create an aesthetically dynamic facade that change with the surrounding environment. As the sunlight changes throughout the day the shadows and reflection of each panel transform activating the
facade’s surface and enclosing the exterior plazas in vibrant surface.
