Pneumatic Facade Technology - Exterior

This building breathes through thousands of pores that is inspired by organic skins that adjust to permeability to control the necessary flow of light, matter and temperature between the inside and the outside. The constantly changing appearance of these 'breathing" pores creates a rich interplay of interior living spaces and exterior natural environments.

The pores increase and decrease in the size of the apertures much like our skin's pores, how they expand and contract on every square meter of this facade, there are 140 air channels which Becker describes as "pneumatic muscles".
