2. Summary
2.1 Research Summary
As Barragan pointed out, if there are many equally valid technical solutions to a problem the one
which offers the user a message of beauty and emotion, that one is architecture. Few architectural
works take aesthetic advantage from technical aspects; they are often seen as constraining
requirements limiting creativity rather than inspiring principles triggering design concepts and being
integral part of the design identity. Due to the current urgency of sustainability, technical aspects
The research will focus on a specific demonstrator: a novel type of Trombe wall. It consists of a new
system that passively improves thermal comfort using new lightweight and translucent materials for
latent heat storage. We will use novel production techniques, like 3D printing, to explore their potential
for creating high quality translucent and highly performative products. Our approach is unique in that
we aim for a system with high levels of adjustability to the specific conditions at hand and that we aim
for a system in which the functioning will be part of the identity of the product. This latter aim will be
realised by a.o. the adjustability and shape of the system and by the materials that have a changing
appearance depending on their physical state (solid or liquid). While dealing with the use of
engineering performances as principles to trigger design creativity, ultimately, this research will result
in a set of design concepts and in general knowledge on thermal performances.
The research will be performed based on the initial development of 3 innovative design concepts for
the system. A combination of intuitive design and evolutionary and form-finding computer algorithms
will be used to generate and select design alternatives within the 3 concepts. These alternatives will
be evaluated and further elaborated upon soft and hard variables. Key soft variables are: design
identity (a.), usefulness (b.) and applicability in buildings (c.). Key hard variables are: thermal (d.) and
daylight performance (e.). Secondary criteria are: manufacturing possibilities (f.) and structural
performance (g.). The soft variables will be assessed in a series of workshops with architects and
industrial designers or users respectively. The hard variables will be assessed based on physical tests
and simulations. Continuous feedbacks form the workshops and computational assessments will be
used in an iterative manner to feed the design process and to generate improved concepts.
Despite their huge potential, the most important reasons why Trombe walls have hardly been used are
that they are heavy and thick, and block daylight into buildings. In our approach, we propose to remove
these issues by making the system lightweight, translucent and adjustable. Besides, we will strongly focus
on the visual appearance of the system and on the integration of the thermal performance into the design
identity. Engineering performances in architecture are crucial but often delegated to technical aspects
detached from the main architectural concept and design identity. There is growing evidence, though, that
clients and stakeholders require buildings that on top of being sustainable also express that they are
sustainable. Making aspects related to energy-efficiency visible is important also to raise sensitivity of
users of buildings, whose behaviour largely affects the total energy efficiency of buildings. This means
that building products that express aspects related to sustainability and include them as integral part of
their design identity are needed. In our workshops we involve potential users in order for the final design to
be attractive to users thereby increasing the penetration rate of Trombe walls in the Netherlands.
The research project Double Face 2.0 will lead to design(s) and preliminary prototypes. From the designs
and prototypes, knowledge regarding thermal performances and daylight transmittance of innovative
materials (PCM, aerogel) and production techniques (3D printing) will be generated. At a higher level,
knowledge on processes and results for integrating engineering aspects in the explicit identity of design
will be generated. After a period of about 3 to 4 years of further engineering for mass production by
companies in the user committee, and of obtaining KOMO attests and certificates, it is expected that the
product is market-ready and can be used for large-scale application.

are part of its identity? A system that is lightweight,
translucent and has high levels of
adjustability to tune it to the specific
conditions and needs at hand
With this general view, this proposal addresses sustainability; and specifically energy use in architecture.
While an increasing portion of buildings deals with issues related to sustainability, almost no architecture
currently speaks about sustainability. Despite few exceptions, principles related to sustainability are not
influential on the architectural expression and few architects take advantage of them (Maciel, 2007).
Environmental issues are usually related to technical issues; and technical issues are by many architects
regarded as a limit to creativity (Maciel, 2007). As a result, it is generally uncommon that technical
performances are part of the design identity. Frei Otto provided perhaps some of the highest examples of
integration between technical load bearing functions and beauty in shapes. Exceptions may regard also
active systems and building services, such as in the Lloyds headquarters by Richard Rogers and in the
Centre George Pompidou by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano. There have been only few architects who
tried to use passive systems as a key meaning of architectural expression. Some recent examples are:
the Beddington Zero Energy Development by Bill Dunster (Chance, 2009), the Ryhad Ministry of Tourism
headquarters by Mario Cucinella; the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre by Renzo Piano. Despite these
exceptions, passive systems are almost never part of the design concept (Maciel, 2007). Differently, there
is a demand from clients to include statements and evidence that show aspects related to sustainability.
This research will not address the whole spectrum of passive systems. Instead, it proposes a specific
focus on a demonstrator. The demonstrator has been chosen specifically and regards the use of thermal
mass. In The Architectural Expression of Environmental Control Systems, Baird (2003) aims at inspiring
architects, building services engineers and building scientists to take a creative approach to the design
and expression of environmental control systems. In most of the examples, thermal mass plays a crucial
role, but in very few it is really used as integral part of the architectural expression in which its technical
performances are visible and part of its identity. We therefore propose to research and design a building
product for passive climate regulation in which its engineering performances are part of its identity. We will
use the design case of a novel, lightweight, translucent, adjustable Trombe wall to investigate how this
can be achieved. This leads to the following main research question: How can we design a building
product for passive climate regulation in which its engineering performances are part of its identity?
These engineering performances, in this case primarily thermal and daylight performances in combination
with novel materials, like phase change materials and aerogels, and novel manufacturing techniques, like
3D printing, form high-tech constraints that direct the design process. However, soft performances, in this
case mainly the identity of the product, are what we would like to achieve through this process. Our
research through design process will give us an understanding about how the selected engineering
performances of generally statically functional objects can become part of the design identity of a product.
Technically, the system is meant to work both in winter and in summer (Figure 1). In winter the system will
capture the heat from the sun during the day and will slowly release the accumulated heat towards chosen
areas in the evening; in summer the system will be exposed to a cold ventilation flow at night in order to
cool down and after being faced towards the surrounding areas acts as a cooling plate during the day. The
applicants of this proposal already showed theoretically that with such a system significant energy savings
can be achieved (Turrin et al., 2015). Successfully achieving these effects depends on the presence of the
thermal mass itself and on a proper tuning of its exposure to the energy source and sink, controlling of
wind- or buoyancy-driven air flow, and adjusting the direction of the system. Moreover, the system should
be lightweight in order to avoid structural overloads in buildings and to allow for use in existing buildings;
and it should be translucent in order for the surrounding spaces to benefit from daylight.
Our research through design project will therefore focus on the case of a novel type of lightweight,
translucent, adjustable Trombe wall system in which the key technical performances are part of the
identity of the final object/product. For this system, we will use new materials, i.e. translucent phase
change materials (PCM) for thermal storage and translucent aerogel for thermal insulation, that have very
high technical performances and as a consequence lead to low weight, but also have a changing
appearance depending on whether the PCM is in the solid or in the liquid state that can become part
of the identity of the system. Besides advanced materials, we will be using novel production techniques,
among which are 3D printing stereolithography and printing with a robotic arm, to explore their potential for
creating high quality translucent and highly performative products. As one example of a possible design,
such an element could be envisaged as in figure 2.
Research Design
Overall the process will be developed as a complex and multidisciplinary system of analysis, formulations,
evaluations, intuitive as well as rational decisions, which cyclically elaborate upon the extracted knowledge
toward general and re-usable scientific knowledge. It must be considered, however, that few design
precedents elaborate upon engineering performances as part of design identity. To generate design
solutions that elaborate upon such identity, the research cannot rely on prestructures, presuppositions or
protomodels, which are often used as the origins of design concepts (Roozenburg and Cross, 1991).
Similarly, the design process cannot use already available techniques (pragmatic design), relying on
established rules (canonic design), or replicating existing solutions (iconic design) (Geoffrey Broadbent,
1969). Instead, this research will have to generate innovative designs. To do so, two main aspects are
highlighted: emphasis on the real time learning process of the designer and use of advanced
evolutionary and form-finding computational algorithms. This research through design attributes large
importance to the real time learning process because looking for innovative solutions for new design
concepts deeply relies on it, not only on the experience of the designer. To empower the learning process
and favor design paths in which the learning process is an integral part, performance assessments are an
integral part of our exploratory design process. These assessments occur in the form of physical
The overall research through design process aims at extracting scientific knowledge from creative design
as such informing the learning process of the designer; it will start with the initial development of 3
innovative design concepts, by the researchers (Figure 3). All designed and generated concepts will be
evaluated to extract information both regarding soft and hard variables/constructs:
Key soft variables: the extent to which the key technical performances are part of the identity of the
product (a.), the usefulness for users (b.) and general applicability in buildings (c.)
Key hard variables: thermal performance (d.) and daylight performance (e.)
Secondary hard variables: manufacturing possibilities (f.) and structural performance (g.)
Subsequent to this evaluation, the strong points of the different alternatives will be extracted and will be
used for further generating improved design alternatives, which will again be evaluated on the
aforementioned aspects. Unveiling new possible design directions is one output of the research. Parallel,
the new designs are meant to be tested and measured in order to generate new data that will allow better
defining the thermal models and the technical potentials. The analysis of the initial design concepts will
also lead to a re-evaluation and fine-tuning of the design brief for the novel Trombe wall system.
The soft criterion identity will be assessed in a series of 3 workshops in which a group of 8 architects and
designers are invited to independently and blind to experimental conditions judge as experts the extent to
which the key technical performances are part of the identity of the product. These architects and
designers include people from architecture firms like aTA and Shau and from industrial design companies
like WellDesign and StudioKees. During these workshops this expert panel will judge the design concepts
and prototypes developed by the researchers. The construct identity will be broken down into a set of
variables that will be evaluated by this panel. These variables are a.) composition in general, b.) visibility
of thermal performances, c.) visibility of daylight performances, d.) materiality, i.e. the novel use of
materials and e.) design intents, i.e. how well have the original intents been achieved. Furthermore, the
soft criterion usefulness will be evaluated by a panel of 8 potential users which will make their
evaluations also independently and blind to experimental conditions; again in a series of 3 workshops
similar to the other workshops. In line with Amabile (2011), the construct usefulness is broken down into
three variables: a.) display, i.e. the extent to which someone would like to have this product at home, b.)
aesthetics, i.e the extent to which the design is aesthetically appealing and c.) liking, i.e. the extent to
which someone expresses a feeling of joy for the product.
Digital simulations are used for a deeper integration between design generation and engineering
performance assessment. Specifically, they will be exploited for integrating performance assessments
during geometric form finding. As highlighted by Pedrini (2003), the traditional use of charts and diagrams
for energy efficiency perpetuates the divide between environmental design and architectural expression.
Differently, combining shape exploration and performance evaluations by means of computer simulations
and parametric analysis helps bridging the gap between freedom in creativity and technical issues, by
placing equal emphasis on form and operation during the design (Pedrini, 2003; McGlynn, 2010). To do
so, this research will use geometric modelers (such as Rhinoceros and its parametric plug-in
Grasshopper) in combination with performance evaluations. Some of the performance evaluations will be
directly linked to the generation of the geometry to further reduce the gap between geometric exploration
of design alternatives and numeric quantification of performances. This supports both the learning process
of the designer by assessing individual solutions in order to iteratively re-define the design; and the
extraction of information to build re-usable scientific knowledge.
To further support these two aspects, additional computational means will be used next to geometric
modelers and performance simulations, namely evolutionary algorithms and data analysis and
visualization techniques, in order to select design alternatives and explore the design space. Evolutionary
algorithms are well-established techniques used in (design) optimization to identify design solutions that
perform well for a given set of objectives (Pardalos and Resende, 2002). These solutions will be used to
make design decisions and/or suggest further improvements for new design solutions. Moreover, the
design solutions generated will be analyzed to extract knowledge reusable in future projects. In order to
analyse them, data analysis and data visualization techniques will be used, such as Sensitivity Analysis
and Multi-Variate Analysis via digital tools like modeFRONTIER. These investigate interrelated effects of
input parameters and extract information about sensitivities and local influence of variables.
As Menges (2012) suggests, next to digital simulations, prototyping is crucial for approaches that use
properties of materials as integral driver of design conception. The research will take advantage of rapid
prototyping techniques like 3D printing (stereolitography and Robotic 3D printing). These manufacturing
techniques allow for producing intricate complex shapes, which together with the material properties affect
the technical properties of the final component. This offers huge potentials to add functionality to the parts
composing the Trombe-wall, like tuned insulation, light channels through the PCM and complex internal
structures to tune structural stability. Such integration between form and materials also affect the
appearance of the design, and can be used as integral part of the architectural expression.
5. Utilisation plan
5.1 The problem and the proposed solution
Energy efficiency of buildings has become an important issue. Depleting fossil energy resources, global
warming and geopolitical disputes urge us to rethink the way we design our buildings. Instead of designing
buildings with an appetite for energy, we need to make the transition towards energy-neutral or energy-
positive buildings. Passive systems, like Trombe walls or solar walls, have an advantage over active
systems since they do not require auxiliary energy. Trombe walls walls can strongly reduce the energy use
of buildings by increasing the energy gains from solar radiation. Castellon et al. (2009) experimentally
showed that the inclusion of PCM in facades may lead to a reduction in energy use of around 17%. In a
previous project, the Double Face project (see past performance), we have even shown based on
simulations that in an ideal case the energy use for heating of a typical dwelling in the Netherlands can be
reduced by an amount of 45% if a lightweight, rotatable Trombe wall system is used. These significant
reductions will have important positive consequences. First, home owners and tenants will have a lower
Despite their huge potential, the most important reasons why such Trombe walls are hardly being used in
the Netherlands and in many other European countries are that they are very heavy and thick, and block
daylight entrance into the building. In our approach, we propose to remove these issues by making the
system lightweight, translucent and adjustable. Furthermore, we will strongly focus in our approach on the
visual appearance of the system and on how the thermal and daylight performances of this system can be
made visual. By including potential users in our workshops, we hope that the final design will be attractive
to users as a result of which increasing the penetration rate of Trombe walls in the Netherlands.
The market for our solution consists of dwellings and offices; both existing (because it is a lightweight
system) and new buildings. In dwellings the main purpose of the system will be capturing the solar heat in
winter and thus reducing the energy demand for heating whereas the main purpose for office buildings will
be capturing the internal heat in summer and thus reducing the energy demand for cooling. In total, there
are almost 7.3 million dwellings in the Netherlands (CBS, 2015). With a refurbishment rate in the order of
1.2% per year (Mlecnik and Kondratenko, 2012), about 87500 are refurbished in the Netherlands. Many of
these houses could be equipped with our new Trombe wall system. Similar numbers apply to the m 2 of
office space in the Netherlands. In a period of about 3 to 4 years, subsequent to this project, further
engineering for mass production (by a commercial company, like GlassX), and the obtainment of KOMO
attests and certificates (in order to have the product allowed on the building market) are expected. After
this, it is expected that the product is market-ready and can be used in the aforementioned buildings.
Both Dr. Tenpierik and Dr. Turrin have been involved in two projects specifically related to this proposal:
The first project investigated the use of an atrium as part of the passive climate system of an old
tobacco factory in Shenyang, China (Turrin et al., 2012). This project developed a system in which fixed
concrete panels were combined with sliding thermal insulation panels to prevent nocturnal release of
accumulated heat toward the atrium; and to favour the thermal behaviour at the back of the panels.
Numeric analysis has shown very promising results. The system proved the benefits of properly
addressing calibrated heat absorption and radiation; the main limitation of this system regarded the heavy
weight of the concrete panels and their high impact on reduction of daylight levels.
The second project, DoubleFace, was funded in the framework of the lighthouse call of the
3TU.Bouw Centre of Excellence for the Built Environment and brought this idea to the next level (Beerda,
2015) (http://www.3tu.nl/bouw/en/lighthouse2014/doubleface/). This project aimed at preliminary
investigation for a new adjustable system that passively improves thermal comfort of indoor spaces by
means of lightweight materials letting daylight passing through. Simulations, which included the rotation to
tune the thermal behaviour, showed that the adjustable Trombe wall system can lead to an energy
reduction for the heating of dwellings of roughly 45%. This project has led to first design sketches and a
rough working prototype that form the starting points for the proposed research.
Furthermore, both Dr. Tenpierik (as co-applicant) and Dr. Turrin (as researcher) are involved in the
recently started project Acoustics by parametric Design and Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) funded by
Technology Foundation STW. The aims of this project are to develop and validate the acoustics theory
that describes the relation between geometry and acoustic performance of interference absorbers; to
encode these relations in a computational design tool that enables highly customizable solutions for noise
and reverberation control; and to build and test a working prototype. Two companies, well-known in their
fields, contribute: Peutz, a consultancy in building physics and Materialise, a manufacturer of 3D printed
components. This project was initiated from the work of a student, whose MSc thesis was selected for the
national Archiprix 2012, an award for best MSc study in the field of Architecture in the Netherlands.
Besides, Michela Turrins PhD research focused on parametric and computational processes for
performance-oriented design. It included international collaborations, such as with the University of
Michigan (Dr. von Buelow) and Princeton University (dr.Axel Kilian); and the involvement in the design of a
4200 m roof in Italy (currently built). Michela Turrin was also involved in the design of a new office building
2
in Urfa (Turkey); and further research-collaborations with practice (i.e. on computational design for thermal
and daylight comfort) have been initiated with GWS Beijing and South China University of Technology;
and a Marie Curie grant allowed her to make visits to Beijing University of Technology for these projects.
6. Intellectual property
6.1 Contracts
There are no contracts or agreements with companies in the user committee or third parties, other than
with GlassX. For the 3TU Bouw Lighthouse project Double Face (see section past performance), we
signed a Materials Transfer Agreement with the Swiss company GlassX. This agreement deals with
confidentiality for GlassX not to disclose any information of that project in case of for instance
opportunities for patents arise. We do not foresee any impediments for utilisation.
The proposed project lies on the boundary of two highly assessed research programs of TU Delfts Faculty
of Architecture: Green Building Innovation (GBI) and Computation & Performance (C&P).
The aim of the GBI program, led by prof Ulrich Knaack, is to provide the scientific foundations for a
sustainable built environment involving the competences of Products&Process, Building Envelopes,
Climate&Energy and Comfort&Health. The focus of the last two lies on the energy performance of
buildings and cities and on the comfort and health issues that relate to the thermal, acoustic, lighting and
air quality environment. Expertise of these groups includes the design of energy-efficient buildings, energy
performance simulations, energy and comfort monitoring and post-occupancy evaluation. Members of this
group have been involved in several large-scale (inter)national research projects, including: OFFICAIR
(EU FP7), SINPHONIE (EU DG Sanco), CITI-SENSE (EU FP7), EcoHeat4Cities (EU IEE), Celsius (EU
FP7), Better Airport Regions (NL NWO URD), UCER (NL TKI EnerGO), ADAM (STW OTP), several IEA
ECBCS research projects (Annexes 39, 44, 45, 62), RVO funded projects, and the Solar Decathlon 2014.
An important aim of C&P research program, led by prof. Kas Oosterhuis, prof Joop Paul and prof
Sevil Sariyildiz, is to apply the understanding of performance and quality to the computational design
process, so as to plan, construct and operate buildings or products where the reality meets or exceeds the
aspirations that motivated their production. Within this program this proposal has close links to the
following projects: Acoustics by parametric Design and Additive Manufacturing; Digital design in a
homogeneous environment (PhD research); Performance Based Design: New tendencies in lightweight
structures with regards to new materials and production methods (PhD research).
