Fachada cinética aplicando movimientos optimizados, analizados por medio de origami

Abstract

Abstract:The kinetic facades and their relation with the technology allow to control the passage of light, the thermal gain of the building improves the behavior of the new constructions in regard to its environment and the needs of the user. In the equatorial sierra, one of the factors affecting the population, is climate change, especially solar radiation that affects directly in buildings, therefore, in the users who live there. This background leads us to propose an investigation that focuses on the development of a dynamic facade prototype, using the origami concept and digital manufacturing technologies of the Fab Lab UTPL Laboratory, with which it is intended to reduce the passage of direct radiation, through an isostatic structure with a folding shading system, which take advantage of the kinetic behavior of origami. The design, structure and control mechanisms designed of the component with origami concepts, allowed to achieve different designs and generate internal spaces with a play of light and shadows, reducing the passage of light and UV in them.
