Abstract :In the study, a classification approach is proposed to characterize and increase the legibility of the adaptive facades with hybrid technology that can be obtained by integrating smart materials into active adaptive facade systems. In this context, firstly, classification studies, adaptive element prototypes and applications were examined. Then, the classification approach was categorized as smart material properties, smart system properties and purposes. It was predicted that the purposes will develop and diversify depending on the properties of smart materials and systems. Based on this prediction, a classification diagram was developed in which the purposes are located at the intersection. In this diagram, smart material and system properties are combined by orienting towards the purposes. It is critical that new material and system properties that will be discovered in the coming years be added to the diagram. Therefore, in the diagram, each category was composed of cells that develop radially from the center outwards. In the evaluation, case studies were analyzed and the usage intensity of the characteristics was determined. This situation was also visualized through the diagram. As a result, the legibility of adaptive facades has increased and its characterization has become easier, thanks to the prominent characteristics.
