Abu Dhabi Investment Council Headquarters - Responsive Facade | Aedas | Research & Development | Abu Dhabi, UAE | Abu Dhabi, UAE

The Masharabiya shading system, based on a traditional Arabic shading lattice-work, is one of the main concepts of the winning competition entry for the ADIC headquarters towers in Abu-Dhabi.

Developed by the Computational Design team, our work consisted in finding a parametric description for the geometry of the actuated facade panels and simulating their operation in response to sun exposure and changing incidence angles during the different days of the year.
