I found that a really interesting point was made...<br /><br />FT: Your explorations fuse wood with smart memory alloys to create kinetic architectural skins. What role do you envision kinetic skins playing in the field of architecture in the near future?<br /><br />Amongst the newly designed architecture, fabric, wind, sun and light is considered and widely involved within architectural design. As a personal thought, if a building cannot be integrated within its surroundings it would only be an object that is misplaced. <br /><br />Food for thought, as from a non architectural perspective, i find many of the buildings within the city robust and structure simply for their purpose, ie. levels of office cubicles. I hadn't considered the underlying architectural design or the use of kinetic energy.daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377496920580134287noreply@blogger.com
