The ‘Oxford House meets Pines…’ proposal explores three key ideas to achieve advance net zero sustainability. Inspired by nature, the proposal investigates the heat and humidity regulating properties of pine cones. Using a biomimicry approach to form a pine cone inspired kinetic facade. The proposal takes advantage of minimal changes to the existing building, keeping the existing structure and curtain wall. The strategy removes all decorative fins and features to be replaced with a kinetic protective facade. Such a barrier is based on a modular approach to increase its feasibility for easy construction and management. Furthermore, AI optimization has been studied to optimize the kinetic facade specified to on site microclimates.
