Abstract

‘Kinetic architecture’ conception shows
development through the improvements in construction and production today.
Kinetic construction elements’ usage possibilities within functional
flexibility in residences are researched here. Unit locations were designed
with kinetic systems in selected housing typologies within study. Kinetic
systems are classified according to their location and action aim within
construction elements. Principle designs were devised with kinetic elements
that would provide flexibility out of shell within residences; moving
residences were investigated; constraints and possibilities in residence type
were determined. Usage of such elements in architectural design and
construction technologies seems an important development for next period in
terms of providing functional flexibility and producing formal new compositions
through kinetic construction designs despite constrains.

Keywords

Kinetic Architecture, Housing Typology, Functional Flexibility
