Adaptive Architecture is a system which changes its structure, behaviour or resources according to the demand. The adaptation made is usually to non-functional characteristics rather than functional ones.
Responsive Architecture is also another set of systems which measures actual environmental
conditions (via sensors) to enable buildings to adapt their form, shape, color or character responsively. Responsive Architecture aims to improve the energy performance of buildings with responsive technologies (sensors / control systems / actuators) while also producing buildings that reflect the technological and cultural conditions of our time.

Our lives are surrounded by constantly changing forces of nature and environment. Everything is in a constant state of flux, with varying degrees of dynamism. Our lives too, are always in motion. The spaces we inhabit are constantly changing as well, although the change is slow and occurs through non-physical conditions. ZHCode Team conducted a study about a space that users are the parameters that change&affect the design. It was a research to harmonise the social with physical aspects of buildings. Interactive occupant density in relation to architectural features such as furnitures.

Importance of Data: Data Collection & Visualization in Architecture(Data Chain)
Efficiency in built environment affects sustanability. The Data creates parameters that change the overall design. Adaptive architecture uses these parameters to create more efficient designs and more environmental-user friendly designs. Data List: -Environmental Data Sun Wind Climate Topography etc. -Material Data -Efficiency Data -Social Data -Historical Data -Economical Data -Visual Data -User Data -Building Data ...

Data visualization is viewed by many disciplines as a modern equivalent of visual communication. It involves the creation and study of the visual representation of data, meaning “information that has been abstracted in some schematic form, including attributes or variables for the units of information� Big – and open data are mentioned as the most important technology trends, contributing growth to our society and economy. Organisations can make better predictions and better decisions by increasing situational awareness. To collect, enhance, and process large data a set, a data value chain has to be put in place, supported by technology.

CASE STUDY 1: The SHED, New York’s New Multi-Arts Center, Diller Scofidio + Renfro The Shed’s flexible design will accommodate the broadest range of performance, visual art, and multidisciplinary work. Two principal components comprise The Shed: an eight-level fixed base building for cultural programming and support spaces, and a telescoping outer shell that deploys over an adjoining plaza to double the building’s footprint on demand. The base building includes two expansive levels of gallery space, a versatile theater, a rehearsal space, an artists’ lab, and a sky-lit event space. The shell forms a vast hall that accommodates large-scale performances, installations, and events.

CASE STUDY 2: One Ocean Thematic Pavillion,SOMA Architects
It is largely known for its fish-like characteristics created by a cutting-edge façade system that is madeup of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) capable of being morphed into a number of animated patterns. The integration of the moving lamellas within the building’s skin was inspired by a research project at the ITKE University Stuttgart that investigates how biological moving mechanism can be applied in an architectural scale.

CASE STUDY 3: RMIT Design Hub
The purpose of the Design Hub is to provide accommodation in one building for a diverse range of design research and post graduate education. The outer skin of the Hub incorporates automated sunshading that includes photovoltaic cells, evaporative cooling and fresh air intakes that improve the internal air quality and reduce running costs. The cells have been designed so that they can be easily replaced as research into solar energy results in improved technology and part of the northern faรงade is actually dedicated to ongoing research into solar cells to be conducted jointly by industry and RMIT. The entire building faรงade, in other words, has the capacity to be upgraded as solar technology evolves and may one day generate enough electricity to run the whole building.
