Responsive Architecture

Session 2: July 22 - August 2, 2024

Responsive Architecture

In Responsive Architecture, students will dive into the exciting world of architectural innovation, sustainability, and human-centered design, creating structures that dynamically respond to the environment and enhance the well-being of those who inhabit them.These responsive structures adapt to various environmental factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and sunlight. By the end of the studio, students will design a dynamic and responsive architectural structure that not only reduces carbon emissions but also enhances human well-being by improving factors like temperature, visibility, and daily function.
