Resumo
Nos últimos tempos, as condições climáticas mutáveis, a crescente consciência sobre os problemas ambientais e o avanço da tecnologia elevaram a importância das "estruturas ecológicas" mais do que nunca. Os avanços tecnológicos oferecem uma oportunidade para compreender e implementar de maneira mais eficaz os princípios da natureza no design. Assim, estão sendo desenvolvidas novas estratégias para projetar estruturas ecológicas e resolver problemas ambientais de maneira mais eficaz. Especialmente nas regiões de clima quente, os designs que melhoram a termorregulação dos edifícios desempenham um papel ativo na criação de ambientes urbanos resilientes. O aumento das temperaturas impacta significativamente a eficiência energética e o conforto das estruturas. Consequentemente, as fachadas cinéticas, que respondem a diversos fatores externos como a luz solar e a temperatura, têm ganhado uma crescente atenção entre os arquitetos como alternativas. As fachadas cinéticas, inspiradas na natureza, juntamente com os designs de casca, servem como ferramentas para melhorar a relação entre o ambiente construído e a natureza. Este artigo propõe um modelo de fachada cinética baseado no desempenho da luz natural para melhorar o conforto do balanço térmico dentro das estruturas. As estratégias biológicas desenvolvidas por três organismos em nível micro contra o sol na base de dados AskNature foram imitadas em nível comportamental. A estratégia da estrutura microcapilar da Formiga Prateada do Saara contra o superaquecimento excessivo no deserto foi abstraída e incorporada como uma característica refletora no módulo de fachada cinética projetado. O objetivo é fornecer uma solução para a termorregulação nos envolventes de edifícios modernos com o módulo de fachada cinética projetado.
