The Concept of Adaptive Architecture and its applications on buildings' envelopes

Research and technological innovation has contributed over the last decade to improve the performance of the specified elements for construction, such as, walls, ceilings, windows and construction equipment like, ventilation and cooling equipments, lighting, where those elements produce opportunities to improve the efficiency through the translation of a dynamic term to the functions, features and physical and thermal behavior of the components of the construction, which may change over time and thus adapt with different requirements of construction and occupancy of variable climatic conditions which is called Adaptive Architecture.
