Kinetic architecture uses movement and spatial experiences in otherwise static environments as a way to invite viewers to engage with buildings and spaces as entities that shift in response to movement, the environment and time. Architects, oftentimes in collaboration with other professionals, are designing facades and interiors that respond to light, wind, and motion of the viewer’s position in real time. This article on Architizer highlights some examples of kinetic architecture that showcase a variety of approaches with some driven by digital algorithm and environmental data as well as analog materials and viewer perception.
