Literature Review

Conducting a literature review allowed the group to learn more about the various different technologies currently being used in dynamic façades  around the world. We explored several different case studies which demonstrated innovative dynamic design.  While some of the buildings reviewed are simply prototypes there are others which have the potential for large scale deployment.  Through such a literature review we were also able to explore the different technologies and decide which of these we wished to look at in further detail.  For each technology chosen to be analysed in further detail as part of this project a further literature review was conducted and the findings of this can be found by reading through this section.
