KINETIC ARCHITECTURE IN SUSTAINABLE MEANS
Kineticism is applied to buildings in order to adapt to weather
changing patterns, save energy as well as allow for environmentfriendly energy sources, allow for natural ventilation and control light. There are many other reasons to adopt kinetic systems in buildings, but as previously mentioned environmental reasons are the most common. There are different factors that affect how kineticism is applied to analysed architectural projects which include used structure systems, used materials, reason behind applying these types of systems as well as other factors. Each of these factors is affected by the rest. When frame structures are used that reflected on used materials which varied from steel, to wood and paper. Also, using other structure systems affected the materials used. The used structure system affected the installed type of kineticism. The most common structure system used in the analysed projects is frame structure. This type of structure system allows for many types of kinetic systems to be installed, such as elevation kinetic elements, kinetic walls and other systems. Structure systems are not the only factor that affected the used type of kineticism, the environment within the building equally affects the type of kineticism. Using kinetic facades, or walls as well as interior elements is suitable to living environments. The reason behind applying kinetic systems is affected by the nature of the environment that the building creates. When a kinetic system is installed to a living environment that is to allow for more privacy, create more flexible living spaces, to add luxury as well as other environmental reasons.
7.5 RECOMMENDATIONS Although architecture has an influence on the environment it creates, it is affected by different factors that include technology, users and environment whether natural or built. In order to improve the quality of the architectural environment, kinetic architecture can be the solution to create environmental- friendly, safe, organized, enjoyable and adaptable environments. To achieve extremely useful results, architects should work in teams to improve research with collaboration with specialists from different fields. These fields may range from engineering such as information technology, communications, mechanical and structural engineering to social as well as environmental science. Planners should work hard in order to look for means and ways to invent and implement ideas at the rate requested for keeping up with the rest of the world. It is of great importance to carry out researches in order to understand how kinetic architecture will affect urban planning. Kinetic design will provide planners with creative means for problem solving using technological advancements that facilitate decision making and collaboration between different interest groups during the process. If urban planners will consider events, activities and changes rather than buildings and structures, they can provide greater comfort and safety for all residents. PRAGYA BHARATI (2014-2019)
