The research aims at studying the role of intelligent façades through the application of the kinetic façades as a tool for the integration of environmental wizards and visual forming, by benefiting from experience of its application on the regional and global architecture; it provides comparative analysis of three buildings:
1) Sea Towers Al-Bahr Towers

3) Institute du Monde Arabe.
The research concludes to develop recommendations to benefit from its applications on our buildings.
