Abstract
Adaptive facades are getting more and more widespread in modern buildings. These facade systems, among many others, need to fulfil the requirements of several structural considerations, such as structural safety, serviceability, durability, robustness and fire safety, being typically defined for standard facades and building enclosures in general. The current paper discusses special structural characteristics which need to be taken into account when designing adaptive facades and summarizes some recent efforts of the activities in progress carried out by the ‘Structural’ Task Group (TG2.4) of the European COST Action TU1403 ‘Adaptive Facades Network’.
