Bio-based Building Skin
This chapter presents a portfolio of building materials suitable for
façades. It describes the relationship between material type, building element,
façade, and the entire building structure. Traditional façades based on static components, as well as adaptive concepts able to interact with changing environmental
conditions, are briefly described and illustrated with pictures. Climatic design
principles, biomimicry, and bioinspiration in architecture are introduced with the
purpose of inspiring future developments.
