Dynamic building and its impact on sustainable development
Abstract
Since ancient times, the buildings evaluation depended on durability confront different factors and conditions for the longest possible period, regardless of their ability to adapt to the changes occurring as well as meeting the diverse needs, the research aims to provide non-traditional solutions to meet the different requirements and problems that may face the architects, An analytical study of Dynamic architecture is capable of achieving sustainability and providing architectural environments that are adaptable to different variables. The research presents the various definitions of sustainability and dynamic architecture. It also explains the elements of sustainability and how to apply on the dynamic buildings whether static or partially or fully-dynamic.An applied study was conducted for the dynamic buildings on two models of global buildings to reach 39 design criteria were identified as a guide to evaluate the level of dynamic building integration. Keywords: Dynamic architecture, Static movement, Dynamic movement & sustainability
