Green cores positioning in energy generating residential units

This study explores a methodological approach to architectural design by introducing the concept of green cores, while optimizing lighting schemes within residential architecture to foster the building's metabolism in this innovative system operating as a dynamic interplay between architectural design, sustainable energy generation, and biological processes. It unravels the complex interplay of light dynamics and environmental variables essential for effective energy generation and plant growth. The research seeks to explore interior spaces as dynamic ecosystems that foster environmental sustainability, for accommodating human habitation within urban ecosystems, resulting in showcasing optimal greenery positions for a holistic approach. Having scientific principles behind this integration of nature and technology, this research aims to understand the foundation for biophilic practices in contemporary architecture. Furthermore, this research serves as a precursor for further investigations and possible usage of Plant Microbial Fuel Cells (PMFC) in architecture design. It was developed under the research through design approach.
