KLIMA WALL
Barcelona, Spain | 2023 | Completed
KlimaWall is a research thesis with the aim of developing an environmental data-driven performative clay building envelope that enhances the thermal insulation and passive cooling of buildings.
It employs a double wall system, with the interior wall serving as insulation and the exterior wall designed for cooling purposes. As water flows down the exterior wall, it is absorbed by the surface, while the wind interaction induces evaporative cooling. This process generates a cooler microclimate shield around the building, effectively reducing the temperature gradient between the interior and exterior, thus minimizing heat transfer. Consequently, the exterior and the interior of the building are cooled down.
