Besides the negative environmental impact that conventional building methods (placed in the context of changing society) create, these methods are also economically unfeasible, since their life cycle costs are rising drastically. A fast-changing society, in transition towards more sustainable development, needs technology to change.
Improvement of a building’s capacity to adapt to new requirements extends building’s service life, and could be the way to bring bought costs and consumption of natural resources in balance with sustainable development.
4D architects is involved in development of design strategies that could transform inflexible building structures into dynamic and flexible ones, whose parts can be disassembled and than reconfigured.
