Investigation of Kinetic Building Shell in Context of Aesthetic Facts: Calatrava’s Buildings

Abstract

Aesthetic can be defined as the beauty perceived by the senses. In architecture, structures and forms are classified based on their functionality, sociological benefits, and aesthetic values. To achieve its core value, architectural products must be approached from various perspectives such as sociological, economic, technological, and aesthetic aspects. Buildings which are designed individually are perceived in relation to their surroundings due to being a part of a city. The shell of the structure is significant due to being the first element encountered by users and triggering aesthetic emotions. The building envelopes, which have been revitalized with current technologies, have been endowed with functions such as aesthetic value, energy efficiency, and sustainability. The kinetic systems that emerged with the inclusion of motion have added innovation to traditional design methods, and physical transformations have emerged in the structures. In this context, Santiago Calatrava has been the Pioneer of kinetic architectural research and has developed many systems to use motion in his design. In the study, the structures in which Calatrava integrated kinetic façade systems in his designs were examined in terms of aesthetics. In addition, concepts such as aesthetics, symmetry, order, proportion, inspiration from nature were discussed, and it was determined whether the structures examined had an aesthetic value in this context.
