The present study highlights the potential of flexible fa?ades as a resource to reduce rigidity and form repetition, which are usually employed in condominiums of standardized houses; as such, the work presented herein contributes to field of study of architectural projects strategies for adapting and integrating buildings within the local climate context. Two fa?ade options were designed using as reference the bionics and the kinetics, as well as their applications to architectural constructions. This resulted in two lightweight and dynamic structures, which cater to constraints of comfort through combinations of movements, which control the impact of solar radiation and of cooling in the environment. The efficacy and technical functionality of the fa?ades were tested with comfort analysis and graphic computation software, as well as with physical models. Thus, the current research contributes to the improvement of architectural solutions aimed at using passive energy strategies in order to offer both better quality for the users and for the sustainability of the planet / O emprego da flexibilidade no desenho das fachadas, tornando-as adapt?veis a situa??es clim?ticas adversas, conduz a minimiza??o do desconforto ambiental e a efici?ncia energ?tica. Desse modo, esta pesquisa evidencia o potencial de fachadas flex?veis como recurso para diminuir a rigidez e a repeti??o da forma, comumente empregada em condom?nios de casas padronizadas, contribuindo para o aprofundamento no estudo de estrat?gias de projeto que auxiliam na adapta??o e integra??o do edif?cio com o clima e contexto locais. Para tanto, duas op??es de fachadas foram projetadas utilizando como refer?ncia a bi?nica e a cin?tica e suas aplica??es em constru??es arquitet?nicas. Como resultados foram obtidos duas estruturas leves e din?micas que atendem aos condicionantes de conforto por meio de combina??es de movimentos que controlam a radia??o solar e o arrefecimento no ambiente. A efic?cia e funcionalidade t?cnica das fachadas foram testadas por meio de softwares de an?lises de conforto e computa??o gr?fica e simula??es com maquete f?sica. Assim, a pesquisa contribui para o aperfei?oamento de solu??es projetuais objetivando o uso de estrat?gias de energia passiva na arquitetura com o intuito de oferecer melhor qualidade para o usu?rio e para a sustentabilidade do planeta
