Architectural facades now have the potential to be literally
kinetic, through automated sunscreens and a range of animated
surfaces. This book explores the aesthetic potential of these new
types of moving facades.
Critique of theory and practice in architecture is combined here
with ideas from kinetic art of the 1960 s. From this background the
basic principles of kinetics are defined and are used to generate
experimental computer animations. By classifying the animations, a
theory of kinetic form called state change is developed. This
design research provides a unique and timely resource for those
interested in the capacity of kinetics to enliven the public face
of architecture.
