Abstract

Sci-tech approach toward architectural design process as an emerging phenomenon is to support high-Performance architecture theory to outline future architecture and architecture of future. This manuscript is to develop the concept of the daylightophil architecture based on designerly approach to visual-thermal comfort in a form of a high-tech responsive canopy. Litreture review of the research shows that the concept of responsive canopy puts down roots in bio-inspired architecture, building performance analysis and daylight responsive shading. The methodology of the research is based on designerly approach to algorithmic architecture; it is an integrated programming to develp a space planning. The results of the research show that sci-tech petics in performance-based architectural design process has a lot to do with visual-thermal comfort, energy efficiency, integrated parametricism, agent based modeling, multi-objective optimization and smart shape grammar. The conclusion of the research materialized the concept daylightophil architecture in a form of a respomsive high-tech canopy wich might be seen as an exemplar for other buildings.
