computational technology to adapt to changing conditions and human needs.
Topics include kinetic and transformable structures, digitally driven building
parts, interactive installations, intelligent environments, early precedents and
their historical context, socio-cultural aspects of adaptive architecture, the
history and theory of artificial life, the theory of human-computer interaction,
tangible computing, and the social studies of technology. Author Socrates
Yiannoudes proposes tools and frameworks for researchers to evaluate
examples and tendencies in adaptive architecture.
