The proposed design investigation for kinetic response for kinetic facades are based upon a process of combining physical prototyping, and parametric design tools to evaluate the performance of the kinetics of the facades system presents the possibility of components to respond to environmental
conditions and changing state of facades. The kinetic facades create a folding and unfolding movement, which adapts to the sun and changing environmental conditions. In terms of kinetic pattern for the whole composition, it creates an expanding and contracting effect to produce random surface movement in response to local climate conditions. Four times the design iteration was re-modelled in order to achieve perfect the operation of the kinetic system. The movement of each panel of module depends on its degree of opening(declination angle) and the kinetic control and
mechanism. The modules are able to control the visibility and the transparency of the façade. In addition, the system provides shading for the inner spaces and it can generate solar energy. By responding to the desires of the occupants, the system is able to increase the comfort. Moreover, the panels of the façade are lightweight and can be mounted almost everywhere on existing buildings.
