Architectural inclusivity: Adaptive spaces for aural wellbeing of individuals with dissimilar sensorium (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
It is often found that architectural spaces are designed primarily through visual geometrical procedures, privileging a standardised kind of user experience. Vision has been given a prominent role in the spatial experience. However, as we might be in...

Potential applications of photovoltaic technologies for biomimetic adaptive solar building envelopes (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Building envelope as an interface between the outside and inside of the building serves more than its loadbearing function and has a pivotal role in regulating and saving energy. This role necessitates the adaptability of the building envelope to the... Read More about Potential applications of photovoltaic technologies for biomimetic adaptive solar building envelopes.
Towards solar facades as participatory public art: An introduction (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The presentation was given at the start of co-design workshops with Bristol professionals involved in building design and residents. It introduced the project the events were part of and solar facades research. The events aimed to engage the public i...

Photovoltaics potential for façade renovations (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
As urgent action is needed to tackle the climate crisis by lowering greenhouse gas emissions, façade renovations can improve the performance and reduce the environmental impact of the existing building stock. Integrating photovoltaics into the envelo... Read More about Photovoltaics potential for façade renovations.
Potential strategies for enhancing solar architectural skins (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
As the climate crisis requires lowering carbon emissions on multiple fronts, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) can reduce buildings’ reliance on energy from fossil fuels by supplying them with electricity generated from a renewable source. In... Read More about Potential strategies for enhancing solar architectural skins.
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.
Design strategies for visually engaging solar skins: Between dynamic displays and energy generation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The human experience of urban spaces is influenced by the physical characteristics of the settings. Architectural skins play an important role in people’s perception of cities, while also impacting the energy performance of buildings. Within the cont...
