Karle SEZ @ Bangalore

The Karle SEZ facade project based in Bangalore, India is a series of environmentally responsive facade systems intended for an office development master planned by Woods Bagot. As a process solar radiation analysis is paired with parametric geometric development to produce systems that mitigate the solar heating loads on the buildings. This process is deployed into three organizations, spherical, vertical, and horizontal. Slated for construction within 9 months the facade systems are extremely elemental. Throughout all three systems there are a maximum of 4 different panel types to maintain a high level of feasability in respect to the building's delivery schedule, while simultaneously creating a high performance building envelope. Ultimately the horizontal facade system was chosen and is under further development for construction.
