Cities are considered as dynamic systems ever changing and evolving. In reality, modern-day cities are defined by permanence and limited reversibility. Moreover, technological advancements in combination with global demand for sustainable solutions modify the established perception for architecture. Consequently , a necessity for new way to shape the urban environment is emerging.
This diploma thesis attempts to explore the potentials of a scissor structure , aiming to serve as a modular, adaptable and interactive canopy system for the urban scenery. The project acts as a dynamic and flexible landscape in the cityscape. In contrast to the fixed and permanent characteristics of the city chaos, this structure can serve as the cornerstone of a modern city landscape, by adapting to changing conditions and reacting to environmental stimuli.
