A.3 Retrofitting of Iaac Roof
Iaac’s roof top is currently not used and infact is a source of heat-island effect as there are no measure taken to use the roof as a terrace/ garden or as a source to generate energy. One of the projects proposed was bcn URBAN TERRACES 2012, yet it was a temoporaty project. After research about new technologies for materials and light structures, the new porposal is to define a shading devise and a source of energy at the same time. In order to achieve that, a study was made about the materials and firstly, and the location/positioning of this structure. Using Geco + Galapagos+ grasshopper, a study was performed about the optimal position of the shading material to provide the highest amount of daylight factor.

The passive shading system from the future
For this exercise we decided to use our newly obtained skills with Galapagos on our final studio concept. The idea is to create a completely passive shading system that provides coverage wherever its needed in let the sun rays pass wherever they are desired.The blocking/passing of sun rays will be controlled passively by the outside temperature itself.
