“…It consists of two ions layers; a conductor layer and storage layer stacked between sandwiched glass panels in transparent conductive oxide, as seen in Figure 15. [22] When applying an electrical voltage, ions are extracted from the storage layer and pass to the electrochromic layer, which thereby change optical properties. When it is turned off, the ions return to the storage layer and make the electrochromic layer transparent again, as seen in The electrochromic glazing also has been applied in several buildings such as the Festo Automation Center building, Esslingen in Germany to reduce light and thermal transmittance, whilst maintaining transparency, as seen in Figure 17.…”

Each organism has its unique and specific characteristics that have a great impact on the survival and adaptation processes. One of the most amazing and remarkable characteristics in some organisms such as crustaceans, cephalopods and some insects is the reversible color change property in their skin. This color change happens for various reasons such as thermoregulation, camouflage, and mating. It occurs due to the existence of the chromatophore, which is a special sort of pigment cells in their skin compositions. Chameleons are one of the most spectacular organisms that have this unique capability. This paper aims to demonstrate the property of chameleon's color change, its mechanism, and its applications in Architecture. In order to achieve this goal, different types of materials and glazing technologies that imitate this property and their applications in building's skin have been displayed. Besides, a schematic proposed framework inspired from the chameleon' skin has been introduced.
