Sustainable architecture is no doubt an applicable
architectural solution to the world right now. It is a design approach that is effective in creating spaces that are not just meant to be
inhabited but also help the users to enjoy their spaces. There are
lots of new building designs based on sustainable architecture principles but the
shape shifting, zero-energy house in above picture which transforms itself in tune with the
weather is one in a million kind of sustainable building.
The building on hot day allows natural cooling because instead of cranking up the air conditioning, it transforms
itself, its skin and shell is made to move out to wrap around the entire house
thus shading everything so that the building can be cooled.
The building has a sensor that can sense coldness or
hotness. During cold days, it will close its layers (Screen and Shell) to keep
the inside heat from being lost into the surrounding and when you want more
light in the building, you have two options; you can open up the screen or the
shell. There are also solar panels that are used to power the building
layers.
