Light-responsive kinetic façade system inspired by the Gazania flower: A biomimetic approach in parametric design for daylighting. Building and Environment, 247, Article 111052. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2023.111052

Through a multidisciplinary approach, this research proposes a design solution for a light-responsive kinetic biomimetic system, inspired by the functional principles of the Gazania flower. The adaptive movements of the Gazania flower were studied th...
