The Allergic Facade ///
Facades are the first protective layer in contact with the exterior environment. As weather events become more extreme and frequent, envelopes must become more active in protecting buildings. What if facades were designed to have specific reactions to different environmental stimulants? How might a facade become actively resilient against the extremes of temperature, wind, flood, nuclear disaster, etc. How would these reactions affect the appearance of the building? What happens when a facade is allergic to environmental extremes? Participants should consider facades that become activated by outside stimulants, rather than defend buildings passively.
