Analyzing types of motion in architectural buildings and architectural design

ABSTRACTTo date, people adapted themselves and their lives to an architecture stabile and spacesachieved limited functions. This dissertation is concerned with the contrary of this situation,in other words, instead people adapt themselves to their environment, it has been exploredthat building adapting to people necessities and to the changes in the environments.Moreover, new construction systems and materials which permit the adaptability inarchitecture are examined carefully.Today, emergent technologies and new construction systems and materials allow adaptableand flexible architecture. The present dissertation describes advantages of motion andpotentials of adjustable and changeable systems. Furthermore, kind of movements areclassified, examples are examined very closely, movement in nature and how animals andplants adjust themselves to their environments are discussed and relationship between kineticsystems, flexible materials in architecture and nature are observed.Keywords: Motion, adaptable, flexible, kinetic, adjustable
