Materials for finishing facadesMaterials for finishing facadesPhoto:ThinkstockThe biocoating will be an analogue of artificial skin and will contain receptors that can react to weather conditions, humidity and temperature of the environment. A grant of $2 million has already been allocated for the development of this project. Human skin contains many "sensors" through which the body maintains contact with the environment. According to the plan of American scientists, the artificial skin of buildings can react in a similar way. The shell will be able to organize the work of internal communications: turn on and off lighting, air conditioning and ventilation systems, maintain the temperature and humidity necessary for living. Thus, in houses with such a coating, any weather conditions can be experienced with much greater comfort - both abnormal heat and abnormal cold. In addition, such a coating would allow for much less frequent major repairs of buildings, providing them with the necessary protection. Designers are also conducting experiments. The project has every chance of success: modern science is already capable of creating biopolymers based on protein molecules - collagen and elastin. On the way to creating a new facade, scientists have already created electronic skin that can transmit tactile sensations.
