In ADAPTEX research project, the Priedemann R&D team is developing together with Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin (KHB) and different industrial Partners like Carl Stahl ARC GmbH, Verseidag INDUTEX GmbH and I-Mesh an adaptive solar shading solution consisting of textile-integrated Shape Memory Alloys (SMA).

After the development and optimization of the functional principle as well as extensive tests on material behavior under laboratory conditions, both concepts ADAPTEX WAVE and MESH are now applied under actual climatic conditions of Oman.

The prototypes have already started their journey to Oman.

In August 2022, we will follow ourselves to accompany the assembly and installation of the test façade. We thank the GUTech university for the opportunity of this implementation and look forward to an exciting cooperation with many new impulses and impressions.

More information about the project is available at the following link:

The competition called for innovative curtain wall solutions that are able to respond dynamically to a wide range of environmental conditions. Based on the premise that a key to sustainable solutions lies in the modularity and circularity of building envelopes, EVOCON addresses this challenge by breaking down the façade structure into its functional layers according to the lifespans of its components. This is allowing for both direct responses and longer-term reconfigurations of the façade system.

The concept was developed by Priedemann Facade Experts: Puttakhun Vongsingha, Natchai Suwannapruk, Avinash Nair, Jens Böke, Paul-Rouven Denz and Lars Anders.

We share the first price with a second winning contribution called GROW and say congrats to the team for the also very exciting entry.

Many thanks to the competition jury for their appreciation and the professional discussion on our concept: Holger Schulze-Ehring (Büro Ehring), Jessica Young (Heintges Consulting Architects & Engineers), Berardo Matalucci (SHoP), Mic Patterson, PhD, LEED AP+ (Facade Tectonics Institute)

Priedemann is part of the research network Innovationsnetzwerk Funktionsfassade, in which innovations concerning the building envelope are advanced together with the participating partners. Personal meetings and a regular exchange are particularly important for the preparation of new ideas and project applications. Against this background, on 02.06.2022, the second major meeting of the network took place at the Priedemann Facade Lab forum in Berlin. It was an exciting exchange with many new impulses.

Lecture | June 9 and 10, 2022, Wuppertal

At the 3rd Congress Energiewendebauen, Paul-Rouven Denz, Head of Projects, will present the TABSOLAR III project together with Fraunhofer ISE as part of the Expo Forum Building Envelope.
