Kinetic Facade Architecture Study
So, the impact of global warming continues to increase from year to year (NASA Global Climate Change, 2015). This is caused by the removal of ozone-depleting substances (CO₂, CFC, HCFC, CC14, etc.) accompanied by deforestation for various human purposes. Climate change is now a serious problem that concerns the future of living things on earth. Architecture is considered to contribute to global warming with its various developments. Therefore, the biomimicry method was chosen to solve the problem of global warming architecturally implemented in the form of kinetic facades. Mimosa Pudica is a selected tropical plant that is the object of mimesis for the kinetic facade. The kinetic facade that is made tries to mimic the mechanism of motion of the Mimosa Pudica to close or open when touched and exposed to sunlight. In addition, the kinetic facade shape also mimesis the morphology of the fan palm. Kinetic facade modeling uses computational generative algorithms to determine optimal motion modeling. The optimal motion is obtained from the results of analysis and evaluation using the biomimicry method. The kinetic facade studied in biomimicry aims to reduce the excessive use of energy in buildings to reduce global warming.
