The development of transparent, light, flexible, and resistant materials like ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil allows rethinking the function of the building envelope as an interactive and moderating membrane between the internal and external environment. Air inflated ETFE foil constructions, forming pneumatic cushions, are structurally efficient and have increasingly been used in state-of-the-art architecture. However, the prediction of the thermo-optical behaviour of ETFE structures in building façades is a challenge for designers and manufacturers. The proposal of adaptive or switchable systems, which can be modified on demand to respond to changing climate conditions, is a recent technological answer to that challenge. Neverthel...
