1.1 GENERAL
The concept of kinetic architecture and related discoveries goes back to initial human civilization. One of the examples would be Yurts with opening and closing elements. Transformable buildings such as movable bridges design methods were studied first by Leonardo Davinchi. He used the bird’s wings to flight tools and for first movable roof. Through his works he portrayed how nature can be one of the best teacher in human inventions and creations. Due to the increasing demands for new technologies, the application kinetic architecture found its own way into various manufacturing and construction industries. It was able to create a user friendly structures that are more stable than normal structures. The best part is

The examples of kinetic structures which can adjust part of their figure in association with different factors scarcely appear and those that exist are only practically performed. Which means the models are being built in appropriate scale to taste the performance of the construction. Moreover, no appropriate software seems to exist in order to support the study of these constructions. Such software will act as simulator and movement analyzer. Nowadays, when every single everyday life manifestation is strongly related to the use of a computer, the lack of the supporting software appears as the major disadvantage. Doubt regarding utility of kinetic architecture is due to the lack of software. It is easily foreseen that kinetic structures could clearly meet the needs of modern society like practical, aesthetical, interacting with the environment with the advantageous features of kinetic Design Support for Kinetic Structures architecture and taking into account the many possibilities. Also it support and accomplish multiple functions; maybe all these at the same time. Kinetic architecture is the future of architecture and substitute static and not reform …show more content…
The concept was allowed to blossom and expand far beyond its early examples with help of technological advancements since the late 20th century. It’s necessary to look back around one thousand years to truly understand this architectural concept. Implementation of kinetic architecture have several practical reasons. During the Middle Ages, castles needed to freely admit friends in times of peace and needed to be impervious to invaders. One of the earliest examples of kinetic architecture is the drawbridge, which could be lowered to provide a bridge over a moat or raised to act as an immense door .It’s possible to change the shape and appearance of a building to suit the needs of people inside, and adapt to the elements outside using mechanized structures. The central principle remains unchanged even though their applications have reached new level. A prime example of how the principles of kinetic architecture can be used in public buildings is well seen through the University of Southern Denmark in Kolding. It is the first university building in the country to meet the strict energy targets Denmark has set for 2015 and it was designed by Henning Larsen Architects in 2014. In response to the external temperature triangular panels covering the façade to move from closed, to half open, to fully open with the help of sensors that monitor the external heat

His Design would consist of two domes, one small Dome on the inside, and a larger dome on the outside. The first problem to overcome, was lifting all the materials up to the dome, so he invented a crane that was better then any other crane in the world. He strengthened the dome collapsing,
Comparison between the Trinity Church and the Massachusetts State House Architecture refers to the process of planning, designing and construction of various structures such as building. The works of architecture can be seen as the cultural symbols as well as art-works. There are many historic civilizations and are mostly identified with the ability to survive the architectural achievements. History of Architecture Architecture has been in existence for a long period of time. Through the history of architecture, one is able to trace the changes that have occurred in architecture (Dowing 2012).
They designed their buildings in a certain way for a reason. When you start to look at those purposes, the layouts and designs of these incredible buildings start to fall into place and makes
Through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s he had work as a lecturer and teacher in a number of well-known Universities such as University of Utah, Princeton University, University of California, Yale University, University of Texas. During this time he also wrote many books about his philosophy as an architect and different aspects of a design process. Some of his most famous publications include “Water and Architecture” and “Poetics of
The development of modern day architecture is very fascinating. Even though it has a very significant difference to architecture in the past, it still has many similarities. Many famous buildings we have today still show the same basic designs. For example, the Lincoln Memorial is very similar to the Parthenon.
All you ever wanted to know about the Ketogenic Diet Contrary to most weight loss diets and programs, a ketogenic diet works on the principle of consuming less of carbohydrates. In a ketogenic diet, you are made to eat less carbs so that your body goes in to a state of ketosis. Ketosis involves breaking down of stored fats in the liver in order to produce energy for the body. Hence, your stored fats get used up and you lose weight faster. Fats do not get deposited in the body and this makes you leaner and healthier.
It contested the professions and the way it was taught. It turned away from conventional architecture and proposed more adaptive architecture that would accommodate the emergent needs of its users through a rebellious style in an age heavily influenced by pop- culture and Dadaism. It redefined architecture and embraced a criteria o perishable yet indefinite, multifunctional space that was applied to new city models. It emphasized a vital support to culturally changing mechanisms of the city and not simply functional organization of space. The radical ideas experimented with spatial, creative, political and consumer freedom that surfaced in the 1960’s.
Mankind has always faced many natural obstacles, one of them being the harsh elements of the weather. In order to protect themselves, humans began to build shelters to keep warm and survive. This acted as the roots that gave rise to the industry of architecture. As time has passed and societies have come and gone, the advancements in architecture have continued to grow, but never again has there been a time more influential and lasting on architecture than the era of the Greeks and Romans. Their architectural achievements revolutionized modern architecture in a way that is still being used to this day.
New designs have been adopted since the onset of architecture, and thus, with the concentration of a history of architecture, new phenomenon and innovations are realized that would help in further explanation and address of other necessities in the same sector. A concentration in the History of architecture and landscape architecture as a course incorporates more than one element of
Though this may seem as a simple objective, two main limitations stand in the way of achieving it. The first is the limited understanding of the human attachment/inclination towards nature. In spite of the growing body of research (Appleton, 1975; Kellert, 2005a; Heerwagen, 2005; Biederman & Vessel, 2006), still it is not clear why certain natural forms and settings arouse positive feelings in human beings. The second limitation is the difficulty of translating this limited -but growing- knowledge in architectural terms; form, form making principles, form language, structural systems…etc. (Alexander, 2001-2005; Salingaros & Bruce, 1999; Kellert,
Thus the interpretation of this installation work can also be endless because of Kusama's evolution in the using of different materials in presenting the concept of
He called this “Organic Architecture”. He managed to create his own architectural language that was true to his beliefs in design. Along with his design ideology he published the essay “In the Cause of Architecture” that set guidelines and proportions that were the basis of his work. In his essay he lists a number of important points: “ 1. Simplicity is the quality that defines the value of any work of art “– 1.
The implicit message would allow for varying personal interpretation, the acquisition of meaning or symbolism over time, as well as the possibility of that meaning changing with time. Tectonic expression is therefore concerned with the relation between the idea of construction and the construction itself. This goes to show that architectonics is the basis for careful consideration of materials and as such, inevitably leads to a design outcome with more significance. Since the exploration of materiality is part of such an important process, it comes as no surprise as to why certain architects use tectonics for the materialisation of their design strategies. Japanese architecture
'We want to create the purely organic building, boldly emanating its inner laws, free of untruths or ornamentation. ' Walter Gropius Modernism design came in many forms from door handles to influential architectural feats. The Machine age made artists think differently and influence design today. In the following essay, I will analysis the work of Walter Gropius, an early modern German architect and how his designs had an impact on an improving society and his moral ideas. I will also discuss whether Modernist ideas and principles may still be relevant to contemporary design through the work of Gropius.
