An ongoing collaboration between Associate Professor of Architecture Ajla Aksamija and Zlatan Aksamija, Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering is resulting in some exciting research. They recently published an invited article, "Experimental Study of Operating Conditions and Integration of Thermoelectric Materials in Facade Systems" in the special issue of the Frontiers in Energy Research Journal.

The team developed and tested prototypes of an innovative, intelligent facade system that integrates thermoelectric materials, which can be used for heating and cooling of interior spaces, or for energy generation.  Chris Counihan (M.Arch '17), Dylan Brown (M.Arch '17), and Meenakshi Upadhyaya participated on the research team.
 
Ajla also shared that the Perkins+Will Research Journal is celebrating its 10th anniversary of bridging the gap between research, design and practice.  Ajla established this publication as one of the first publicly available, peer-reviewed research journals published by an architectural practice.
