ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN

Climate-responsive design. It focuses on design solutions that harness natural elements to minimize the negative impacts of the tropical climate without relying on energy-intensive mechanical systems.

Sun Shading Design Concept

Sun shading facade elevation

Serves as a thermal adaptation and energy-saving strategy. The use of operable window apertures for natural ventilation is considered a typical passive architectural solution. However, this intervention goes beyond conventional natural ventilation by moving toward intelligent automation.

A Digital Twin system will be implemented to automatically control the window openings based on real-time sensor data, including temperature, CO₂ levels, and humidity collected from the environmental sensor network.
