Abstract :The fact that built environments, which are necessary for people to survive by hosting organizations such as shelters, work, and service cannot meet the functional needs over time, creating a problem for investors, owners, and users. The way to deal with these problems is to have a flexible building design to suit the new conditions to change the capacity, function, and performance. The façade, which is highly affected by indoor and physical environmental conditions; should have a modular, similar, adaptable, and detachable system. In this study, façades with these systems are designed with fractal geometry features that mathematically define the complexity, self-similarity, and access to the macro scale from the micro scales. In conclusion, a façade system that can adapt to changes by making use of a fractal pattern and provide daylight and solar control in the interior with the electrical voltage applied to the glass surface has been proposed.
