Exploring Sensing-based Kinetic Design for Responsive Architecture
Cheng-A Pan, Taysheng Jeng · Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia · 2008
This paper outlines the features of responsive architecture with emphasis on sensing-based kinetic design. The emphasis of our work is mainly on developing kinetic design methods that apply to responsive architecture. The kinetic design method is demonstrated by an experimental system called Mimosa. Mimosa is a responsive architecture prototype that can alter its shape in response to climate conditions. The implementation, experience, and lessons learned from the development of sensing-based kinetic design for responsive architecture will be reported in this paper.
