Architectural Geometry Components by H. G.

Material Prototyping Through Modelling

Hylozoic Ground is an immersive environment that moves and breathes. I saw this in our Making Things Move Class but the memory forgets. Quite Beautiful!

Transformable Robotic Architecture

Responsive Illuminated Facade that documents its surroundings and then replays these back on the Square.

Fun Palace by Cedric Price. It was to be a laboratory of fun. It was built in a grid like steel structure where temperature systems would control fog, warm air, and moisture so it was responsive to the publics needs. It was the source of inspiration for the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.

Gentle Ruffles; Surfaces that move using shape memory alloys.

Lotus is an interactive wall composed of smart foil which responds to peoples movements. Thanks Jeremy for the reference!

Inflatable Building that reduces carbon emissions by 95%!!! Very Cool

Deployable Structures by Zip Zip.

Adaptive Surface System by Student at DFAB Studio that uses the Firefly plugin for Rhino/Grasshopper. This surface reacts to changing light conditions. Here is a link for a video of one of the prototypes.
