KEYWORDS: sun shading, adaptability, window, façade
PERFORMANCE: shading
In order to realize the best possible shading for the building, the design for this sun shading system is based on the working method of an eye lid. Studying the sun angle determined optimum angles for the curved panels depending on their geographic orientation to provide optimum daylight yield while ensuring the best possible shading.
Thus, the façade offers transparency with efficient sun protection. The size of the elements is scalable, and they can be customized for any purpose and for different types of construction.
