Taking as a reference the concept of a "Swiss army knife

Architecture in motion seeks multifunctionality at all costs. The fact of playing in reality according to the needs of the moment. This type of architecture is adaptive, versatile and made to fully serve the user's needs. In fact, it is the user who takes control of the multiple configurations that the building can have. There are usually three reasons to opt for kinetic buildings: Variety and spatial richness both inside and outside. Interior comfort and energy savings . Multifunctionality . In static architecture designs, the architect defines the form and way of using the facilities. The client therefore adapts to the architecture. In a building with mobile elements, the user takes control of his needs throughout the day and modifies the physical configuration of the building in real time based on them. Key requirements for choosing a window in Passivhaus Origins of kinetic architecture Architecture in motion has its primitive germ in medieval lifting structures. It was in the 20th century when the futurist avant-garde took up this concept as part of its artistic philosophy. Let's say that the futurists reopened the topic of the possibility of having mobile superstructures as an architectural theoretical basis. In 1916 the avant-garde painter Franz Cižek noted the following: “Every living thing, everything that exists, is alive, that is: in motion . ” The  Villa Girasole in Italy, one of the first experimental kinetic buildings in the first half of the 20th century, for example, slowly pivots 360º on its central axis chasing the movement of the Sun.

It is a terrace that rotates Phone Number Data automatically according to the movement of the Sun, designed mainly as a shading element. The body moves looking for solar capture, it is an exterior room that pursues the movement of the sun. Safe House In 2009, architects KWK Promes designed their first kinetic building in Poland, which was intended to be “the safest house in the world.” That is why they configured an entire system of mobile walls and walls according to the client's needs throughout the day. The result is a building with impressive interior and exterior spatial richness . Rotating House The Italian architect Roberto Rossi designed a home in 2018 that is not only kinetic, but also has zero energy balance . In addition, the construction is half-timbered and can be dismantled to be placed on another site.



The Routante house is an authentic house made for current times. TF-64 folding house Prototype designed by the Ten Fold engineering office, this folding house is “assembled” in just 5 minutes. Practical isn't it? One Ocean Pavilion Of course, biomorphic and biomimetic architecture has a lot to say in the kinetic aspect. Austrian architects Soma carried it out in the “One Ocean” themed pavilion for the 2012 exhibition in Yeosu (South Korea). Gemma Observatory This astronomical observatory located in the USA is located in the upper area of ​​a granite slope that formally blends in with the environment and rotates its upper body based on the desired functionality. gemma observatory Fuente: Anmahian Winton Architects The Shed This innovative “mobile shell” is the new tourist attraction in New York . Designed by Diller Scofidio+Renfro, this roof structure adapts its length depending on the capacity for the events held there.Normally, architects pay a lot of attention and effort to the spaces, the composition through light and the well-proportioned distributions of the interiors of our projects. In other words, we have a "religious" love for the visual. However, there are three other senses (taste would not enter here) that we should not leave aside. Comfort comes into play in architecture by encompassing four of our senses: sight, touch, hearing and smell.
