a design firm Kinetic Architecture has made the idea of turning the building skin into the source of energy.
the architect barbara van biervliet | xaveer claerhout descries their design as static | fixed can't move forward with the ever evolving technological world. though they believe in the "form follows function" ideology, their design approach with the 'dynamic outer skin'.
claerhout says that each application requires a different solution, but that movement is a lever to metamorphism rather than the end goal. they specify that having flexible materials that can be “rigidified” is an important aspect, as that allows the structure to respond to its environment. Although they’re still developing the technology and therefore don’t have many concrete specs yet, the movie above shows how this extraordinary building “comes to life.”
