These types of facade systems, due to their ability to adapt to changing conditions, can reduce energy consumption while enhancing indoor comfort. While the kinetic structure exposed to solar energy responds by moving to changing solar conditions, it is actively engaged in influencing the transition between the inside and the outside. The traditional static building envelope, under the influence of changing climatic conditions, has become a kinetic element. People want and need to be in structures that are under their control and can adapt to the variability of environmental factors. Adaptive facades which has the ability to respond dynamically to environmental conditions are an important breakthrough in shaping the future facades. In addition to the different design approaches in architecture, the developments in the facade systems are examined from the perspective of “Adaptive building facades”, one of the most remarkable of these, in terms of shading elements. As identity cards of buildings, facades tend to draw attention with their designs today. It is an important building component in terms of both design context and ability to meet performance needs. Façade is a transitional element between interior and exterior environment. There are important duties to building facades in terms of energy conservation and their importance is increasing every day. Today, due to rapidly depleting energy sources, the importance of energy conservation is emphasized more than ever in the world.
