Material Driven Adaptive Design Model for Environmentally-Responsive Envelopes
ThisEnvironmentally responsive architecturechapterMaterial Driven Adaptive Design discusses material-driven adaptive design (MDAD) as an emerging interdisciplinary in material science and design disciplines. The authors define MDAD as a design system with a dynamic interrelationship with its environmental context. They evaluate prospects and challenges associated with MDADMaterial Driven Adaptive Design, along with some of the shifts in the design model that it necessitates. Examples as research prototypes are provided to demonstrate the potential of integrated development processes that combine materials with geometry. Drawing from their research on the use of shape-memory polymers authors explore the use of “smart” materials in adaptive design to produce self-responsive and flexible surfaces. The design process includes correlating the micro-scale behavior of materials with macro-scale needs in architecture to create surfaces with the ability to change their geometries in response to temperature. This design process can pave a path to move beyond what is currently used as the primary means of adaptation such as complex mechanical systems (sensors, circuitry, motors, etc.) in architecture. Leading toward a more sustainable and more responsive built environment, this approach also can produce synergistic effects by bringing together expertise in two fields of study—design, and materials science—that are currently divided by differences in terminology, methods, and research practices.
