“…The system that is being used mainly in responsive and kinetic architecture is CABS (Climate Adaptive Building Shells) which can completely react to climate changes by using kinetic and flexible elements of the façade. According to the article: 'Climate adaptive building shells: State-of-the-art and future challenges', CABS system has the ability to reversibly and repeatedly change in order to improve the building efficiency [5]. The concept of CABS system is mostly focused on the façade of the building and is especially known as smart-façade, dynamic-façade, intelligent or active façade [6].…”

Abstract. Permanent technological development leads to the search for the most utilitarian material and structural solutions in architecture. During recent decades, a large number of bioinspired materials applicable in engineering and medicine have been invented. However, nature remains the perfect creator of multifunctional structures. The main question concerns the possibility of implementing technological solutions that would enable a literal moving of the building. The assumption of responsive architecture is the ability to react to the user's actions and external environmental stimulation. Nowadays, electronic systems that enable integral control of individual building installations in order to minimize energy losses (e.g. BMS) are commonly available. In kinetic and responsive architecture the CABS system is often used to control the façade. This paper focuses on the etymology of responsive architecture and outlines the directions of its application in the innovative technological solutions in architecture.

“…As technological solutions in response to this 6 challenging situation, many innovative building technologies and components have 7 recently been proposed [5,6,7,8]. In particular, the integration of active and passive 8 design elements in the building envelope is increasingly receiving attention from the 9 research and development community [9,10,11]. 10 Diffusion of new technologies into daily construction practice is a challenging but 11 essential step towards realizing effective contributions of these innovations in terms 12 of sustainability goals [12,13,14].…”

“…These short-term adaptation mechanisms enable the facade to change in direct response to the varying conditions, and as a result, they are expected to present the highest potential in terms of performance improvements [14][15][16]. In terms of complexity, however, the application of short-term CABS is often assessed as less favorable because it typically requires relatively complex and expensive technologies [6]. Moreover, the control of short-term CABS in the operational phase is rarely a trivial task, and problems during operation may have an adverse effect on CABS performance [17][18][19].…”
