Natural systems are effective in producing material and energy efficient solutions in response to environment. The intention of the project is to decipher the logic embedded within the natural systems ­ to develop interior architectural systems. The project deals with the extreme climate of Delhi by adding a secondary skin onto the existing glass façade of a commercial building. This skin moves in response to the Sun, and controls the amount of direct Sun entering the building. The system is an extension of the idea that a building’s envelope is an active system rather than just a container.
