A critical review of biomimetic building envelopes: Towards a bio-adaptive model from nature to architecture (2022)
Journal Article

The building envelope has an important role in regulating the energy exchanges between the internal and external environment. In recent years, various studies on technological solutions for responsive and intelligent envelopes have been carried out....

Design lessons from plants for adaptive solar skins (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Several systems have been developed to enhance buildings’ environmental performance towards reducing their operational energy demand. However, there is still potential for improving methods for responsively controlling daylight and solar gain while f... Read More about Design lessons from plants for adaptive solar skins.

Amphibious architecture: A review of the construction methods adopted in existing designs (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Effective flood mitigation strategies at individual property level can be designed to limit damage and facilitate recovery by limiting water entry or enabling entry into occupied spaces in a controlled manner. Ideally these strategies will be robust... Read More about Amphibious architecture: A review of the construction methods adopted in existing designs.

Morphological differentiation for the environmental adaptation of biomimetic buildings: Skins, surfaces, and structures (2022)
Book Chapter

Morphology and form are the most common traits to be transferred from natural systems into architecture. However, such traits have seldom retained any environmental adaptation strategy of the imitated systems from nature, and therefore hardly represe...
