As designers, we are required to make informed decisions and educate stakeholders of all potential criteria in selection of the design and engineering approach. My thesis goal is to develop such a framework for adaptive façade design based on biomimetic logic and value engineering and test it with parametric modelling. The design subject is a proposed low-income housing project enhanced with biophilic application to provide comfort at low cost.application/pdfen-USCC BY-NC-SAFacade DesignFrameworkSustainableArchitectureArchitectureThesis
