Shape morphing wind-responsive facade systems realized with smart materials

This paper presents the opportunity to exploit the kinetic adaptation of the façade skin-roughness for enhancing the air-flow related characteristic of high-rise buildings. A conceptual design solution, in which the roughness adaptation is achieved by means of innovative shape changing materials, will be presented. Roughness elements located on...

Biotechnology in developing countries: Proceedings of the symposium, Delft, The Netherlands, 13-14 October 1982

Biotechnology in Developing Countries aims to be more than the cleverly chosen combination of two hot topics of today. It is obvious that Biotechnology, as the technology of using microorganisms and tissue cells, has certain intrinsic advantages over other technologies in the setting of a Developing Country. In fact not only beer and wine making...
