Presentation / Conference Contribution
Flor, J., Sun, Y., Beccarelli, P., Wu, Y., & Chilton, J. (2021, September). Retrofitting office buildings: Enhancing daylighting performance with switchable ETFE double-skin façades. Presented at 10th edition of the conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures (Structural Membranes 2021), Online

This paper addresses the natural daylighting qualities of spaces enclosed by ETFE
multi-layer foil constructions with switchable features. The study focuses on the effects the
adaptive shading mechanism has on the internal space in terms of useful... Read More about Retrofitting office buildings: Enhancing daylighting performance with switchable ETFE double-skin façades.

Switching transformation for soft pneumatic adaptive shading (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aditra, R., Beccarelli, P., & Jimenez-Bescos, C. (2021, September). Switching transformation for soft pneumatic adaptive shading. Presented at 10th edition of the conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures (Structural Membranes 2021), Online

Soft pneumatic adaptive system could be categorized based on transformation occurred. One type of transformation that was rarely discussed is the switching transformation. It was only found in switchable fritted layer cushion structure. To keep the... Read More about Switching transformation for soft pneumatic adaptive shading.
