Abstract
Society is immersed in a myriad of techno-social processes and interchanges that augment our physical environment by adapting to our needs. Architecture's reciprocation of these adaptations remains comparatively unnoticeable. Technology has greatly influenced design techniques in architecture, though the full potential of these capabilities have yet to be realized. Architects can produce precise virtual building models, and experiment with kinematics and motion conceived form(s), though their products, for the most part, remain static. Thus, they do not physically reflect the evolution of perpetual processes inherent in a design process, or the built environment. This thesis seeks to develop a synthesis between current architectural kinematics and aspects of emerging technologies from other fields of exploration to create responsive kinetic systems. An architecture in which surfaces and/or structures move according to the way humans do. An architecture that is capable of adapting to our changing needs and those of technology.
