This paper will develop the design of an interactive, kinetic facade that has the ability to adapt to the intensity of natural light to filter hierarchically, in real time, and prevent visual and thermal discomfort generated by light inside spaces. The purpose of the study is to provide an overview of the main parameters that determine the geometry and design of the system, the kinematic character of the shading system, and also the impact that the kinetic shading system will have on the design of the building facade.
