Kineticism in architecture has become ubiquitous with the advent of new technologies in the modern period. Architecture is being influenced by technology so that it receives an even more significant impact from kineticism. When “Revolving Buildings, Skin Unit Systems, Retractable Elements, and Biomechanical Systems” (Ramzy & Fayed, 2011) appeared, the movement became enriched more than ever. “Plug-in-City, Blow-out Village, Walking City, and Instant City” (Ching, 2011, p. 778) are some imaginary designs remaining from the modernists. They can be considered as other aspects of kineticism.
