Abstract

Recently, kinetic facade has become a popular choice for building increasing complex and varied needs associated with user comfort. Hospital building design takes daylight and glare issue very seriously. The capacity of kinetic facades to react and adjust to changes in the surrounding environment is the definition given to them in this study. The intention of this research was to optimize the façade designs of al-abdali hospital, located in amman, to improve daylighting quality and overcome glare issue. It adds valuable knowledge to literature on kinetic façades, daylighting, and glare within the jordanian context due to mitigated glare issues while improving daylighting. Two components comprise the research: questionnaire and simulation. For kinetic facades, parametric design is created to improve glare and daylighting performance. Using the grasshopper and ladybug plugins for rhino software, parametric daylight simulation was carried out to investigate the potential of parametric design in improving daylight performance and glare. The south east and south west façade louvers of the building have three distinct light control kinetic façade parametric designs applied to it. Design 1 used a series of geometric transformations to create a pattern with a uniform array of rhombus and octagon shapes.
