Vivian Tamm | 90°

90° explores the potential of climate adaptive architecture and aims to integrate solar energy use and shading functionally and aesthetically into urban structures. Through research, experiments, digital simulations, and interdisciplinary exchange eight designs of photovoltaic facade structures were developed that optimize energy yields and cooling loads through solar tracking. The tracking motion is implemented through the structural organization of the solar cells themselves thus overcoming design and economic challenges of adaptive and visually complex architecture.
