Title: Daedalus - Housing with Alternative Energy Storages

Description: “Through changes in demand and production of renewable electricity the wax battery breathes with the never ending cycle of the seasons. It melts and hardens, while storing energy and releasing heat. The residents are able to experience the degree of loading of the core through feeling its warmth and its changing consistency. The warm core is able to influence the climate of the building through radiating heat in winter and being used as heat chimney in summer to induce air flow and cool the building. Its not only a utility but almost a living instance that controls and adapts the building through its expansion according to the seasons. The expansion is used to shift walls inside of the apartments to facilitate air flow in summer and orient the center of life towards the facade. In winter additional buffer zones are created and the flats are oriented towards the warm core.
