Faculty Architecture Department Building Technology Date 2011-12-31 Abstract In this paper we address performance oriented design applied to adaptive architecture in order to satisfy the performance requirements for changing contextual conditions. The domain of adaptive architecture is defined and specific focus is given to form-active architecture, in which geometric changes occur as a means of adaptivity during the use of the building. A parametric design approach and related computational tools which are able to support the very early conceptual phase of the design process are introduced. Three examples are shown concerning different aspects of the design process. These are the identification of meaningful geometric properties as a means of adaptivity, of different configurations within predefined geometric properties and of reconfigurable systems. For each of these, benefits and limitations of parametric design and computational search techniques are discussed.
