Adaptability in residential architecture that responds to environmental factors

Abstract

Adaptation is a process by which an object transform itself to suit the changes in the external environment. Living organisms to survive adapt themselves through evolution – so is the case with residence architecture. Adaptable buildings are intended to respond on changing of external factors, it’s rather transformable than static. Although the idea of adaptation may seem innovative, it is not. The ability to adapt by means of building’s technology and materials has been known to man for a very long time. It evolved along with technology and changes in economy and sociological fields. This article focuses on explore of the contemporary adaptable houses in relation to external factors, the presentation of prototypes and the discussion of selected building components that supports building’s adaptation.
