Abstract
The following article aim to present results of a parametric study of a passive shading control system. The fundamental hypothesis supporting this system find its basis in the natural behaviour of the applied materials - Cork, as well as in its internal and external exchange of data and environmental inputs. Inspired by natural physical elements, the main target is to develop a parametric definition that is formally expressed and designed responding to determined environmental conditions, interacting with the temporary space and surrounding inhabitants.
