RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURE / PERFORMING INSTRUMENTS

By Philip Beesley and Omar Khan

"A new generation of architecture that responds to building occupants and environmental factors has embraced distributed technical systems as a means and end for developing more mutually enriching relationships between people, the space they inhabit, and the environment. This pamphlet discusses key qualities of "responsive" architecture as a performing instrument that is both mutable and contestable"
