kinetic architecture

By this word , I directly emphasize on building having movable structure or any part of it have this
quality. Designs for Active Envelopes is an essential resource for architects seeking an in-depth study of
how architectural faades dynamically respond to interior and exterior conditions in a manner that
saves energy, without sacrificing human comfort. It specically focuses on faades with dynamic
components, such as active shading devices and hydronic systems, which form an emerging and
signicant new development in architecture.
facade r known as "third skin" after one's own actual skin. As an architect i want my building facade to
act like as human skin and yet to exceed its performance as well. the skin is most versatile organ of
human organism, saparating inside from outside,protecting body from enviromental demage. It also
aids body's metabolism and immune system.
kinetic architecture involves with the movement of large scale
elements of kinetic structures, named Embedded Kinetic Structures. The Embedded kinetic
structures seem to become main trend in the construction field. it is not a newly discovered concept,
the explosion of technology enabled kinetic architecture to make a spectacular comeback. The use of
robotics in a building , the smart houses which, with the use of computers and sensors, transformation
of the shape of a construction by mechanisms and many more constitute expression of kinetic
architecture.
conclusion- the architect with the ability to create simulation of the kinetic movement based on
the calculation of the thermal, solar etc. analysis, can be thought as a useful step
for the further development of kinetic architecture. Truly kinetic architecture cannot be seen as
anything else but the future of architecture. The mobility, the transformation and the transportation
that it shows cannot be compared with any other kind of architecture where stability and permanency is
their characteristic. In the future inhabitancy, where even the scenarios of other planets are included ,
kinetic architecture can only be in the service of the future human

The fulfillment of building skin technology promise for kinetic building will require efforts.
on the part of both the nanotech community and the building industry. As it is in so
many aspects of life, communication will be the key. Further research is needed to bridge the
gap between nanotech potential and current construction practice. Research focusing
on the following areas will help overcome construction industry resistance to
innovation and public fears about nanotechnology
