Abstract

Intelligent Architecture is the idea of utilizing computation design techniques for achieving smart responsive dynamic design solutions that has been inspired by biological behaviour patterns. This research is analysing a series of case studies and prototypes that has been designed and fabricated within the same principles. The idea of architecture of change, agility, responsiveness and computational design in architecture refers to the problem of adapting built environment to its surrounding natural platform and evolving architecture in the same way that natural systems has.

Keywords: intelligent architecture; biomimicry; computational design; biology in design; architecture of change
