Intelligent Kinetic Systems in Architecture

摘要

This research develops a concept for the application of smart environments to kinetic systems in architecture. The motivation lies in creating spaces and objects that can physically re-configure themselves to meet changing needs. Intelligent kinetic systems arise from the isomorphic convergence of three key elements: structural engineering, sensor technology and adaptable architecture. At the intersection of these areas exists an unexplored physical architecture tuned to address today's dynamic, flexible and constantly changing needs. Intelligent kinetic systems are unique to the field of architecture where objects are conventionally static, use is often singular, and responsive spatial adaptability is relatively unexplored.
