Basic research on interaction design of environmentally friendly building envelopes using natural elements

With the emergence of new building materials and the development of construction techniques, the lines between architecture and building envelope have been blurred. As such, the building envelope is no longer just a fixed element, but is an element that is subject to change depending on the surrounding environment. Moreover, with environmentally friendly buildings increasingly in the spotlight, there have been environmentally friendly construction approaches that aim to reduce energy consumption and preserve the natural environment. This study, therefore, aims to build basic data on interaction design of building envelopes that apply natural elements by considering examples of Ned Kahn's works using natural elements.
