Interactive Movement in Kinetic Architecture

In recent years, many interactive concepts have been invented. Some of these concepts have theability to adapt and interact with the surrounding environment and its variants which include; light,sound, wind, heat or with people. This adaptation and interaction is done by some sort oftransformation that does not require human assistance. Moreover, returning to their original statehappens without significant deformation at the end of the external influence.Discovery of such interactive concepts stimulated a number of architects to utilize these concepts inseveral architectural environmental applications such as; sun shading, sun breakers and windows, ina way which significantly makes use of the concept and technology of interactive movement inarchitecture. The paper attempts to review the literature and descriptively analyse interactiveapplications in kinetic architecture and study the role of these applications in the development ofthis trend in architectural design to be more effective and applicable in the future.
