CONTEMPORARY APPROACH TOWARDS RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURE
Abstract
Constantly changing environment pressures every living for a change, and response becomes a basic reaction of any living form. Change is a natural reaction that enables survivor of all the species. However, in architecture, the responsive structure did not take important role until the twentieth century. During that time many concepts and building introduced kinematics into the discipline. In the late 50 and 60 of XX century, visionary architects introduced responsive and partly autonomous structure. Designers like Constant Nieuwenhuis, Cedric Price were searching for new architectural solutions. The projects like Fun Palace were at the time, when they were created, impossible to develop due to technical matters and therefore remained just bold visions for the future. However, the new approach towards architectural design opened the discipline into new spatial solution, that later became more and more relevant in contemporary architecture. In the process of developing contemporary responsive kinematic architecture historical conceptual designs from the second half of the twentieth century take a significant role. It will be proved that development of responsive architecture is based on the conceptual designs starting from the twentieth century.
