Inspired by the morphogenesis of Ulva, which can adapt its shape and size to different environmental conditions through  various biological and physical processes, a building facade that incorporates phase change materials (PCMs) and thermalmassing materials (TMMs) can similarly respond to changes in temperature and other environmental factors. PCMs can absorb and release heat energy during phasen transitions, such as melting or solidification. At the same time, TMMs are materials that can store and release heat energy through their high thermal capacity.
