Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系碩博士班 === 96 === Current architectural design is limited by the lack of flexibility, where spatial configuration is static and cannot satisfy the requirement of environmental change. To create such a space that can respond to changing needs, current approaches to architectural design must be expanded to support dynamics, flexibility, and adaptability of design.

Trends in ubiquitous computing are opening up new opportunities for developing a new vision of an interactive and responsive and machine-integrated architecture. The term “responsive architecture” is commonly defined as a dynamic shape-shifting building system that is susceptible to alter its shape and physical properties in response to environmental conditions, user activities, and social contexts.
.
This thesis is focused on the design of responsive architecture from two complementary perspectives. One perspective is the macro-view regarding architecture as an interaction interface of contextual situation. The micro-view, inspired by Biology and Mechanism, is the dynamic conformation and behavior revealed by the characteristic of the basic primitives.
.
This thesis is organized as follows:
.
1. Literature Review:
This thesis provides a literature review of the contemporary development of responsive architecture. Analysis of design concepts, practice, and techniques are presented.
.
2. Conceptual framework :
This thesis provides a conceptual framework of responsive architecture, which is comprised of four parts:
Situation - responsive architecture is driven by situations where context is sensitive with respect to user and environmental conditions
Embodiment -Responsive primitive modules are developed to construct a dynamic responsive architecture.
Scenario -The behavior of kinetic components is controlled by scenario-based hybrid control systems.
Kinetics -To representation the actual performance derived from the motive population, a kinetic design model is required.
.
3. Prototyping:
A design prototype called “Mimosa” has been implemented. The design process ranging from sketching, kinetic modeling, physical design, control mechanisms, and digital fabrication is demonstrated.
.
4. Conclusion and future work:
A Review the research works of responsive is presented. The potential, derivational issues, and further research directions in responsive architecture are discussed.
