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.
