Flexible Architecture: Optimization of Technology and Creativity

Abstract

Abstract-Natural beauty goes beyond standards and cliches which needs to be stored for future generations to enjoy it in its best form. The quest for sustainability in context of nature and environment directs anthropoid to adapt the new conspicuous ideology of 'Flexible Architecture' that believes in responding to change rather than staying idle. The Flexible Buildings is a new genre of Architecture which believes in full utilization of existing resources, willingness to embrace changes and challenges by profound utilization of new technology aided by the computer technology support. The unconventional Flexible architecture is capable of defying worldly and environmental challenges such as melting of ice, rise in sea level, migration of refugee, global warming, dense population in cities, disastrous events etc, while aesthetic consideration is also given due importance parallely.Flexibility in architecture was introduced by Walter Gropius in 1950s which has progressed to a more advance level in few decades. A lot of research has been conducted in this field, which largely describes contemporary flexible architecture as designed for multipurpose utilization. Global consumerism, availability of materials and new technology adopted play a vital role in its world wide acceptance. The advanced techniques adopted in the design of buildings, structures, products, gave the opportunity to the interior space elements like ceiling, furniture, windows, doors, etc., not to be rigid, thus allowing for more flexibility space wise, setting wise, beauty wise etc. The different needs and requirements of people, community and country are analyzed which lead to the significant achievement of flexible design and architecture. This paper uniquely analyzes how the flexible architecture comes out to be a solution for prevailing problems in different countries.Keyword-Flexible, Architecture, Adaptive reuse, Tent Structure, Low Cost, Sustainable I. INTRODUCTION The noblest architecture can sometimes do less for us than a siesta or an aspirin… Even if we could spend the rest of our lives in the Villa Rotunda or the Glass House, we could still often be in a bad mood: Alain de Botton, The Architecture of Happiness Architecture is all about creating spaces that triggers emotions and creates a sense of place which may be coined as 'a friendly way of living with nature'. The neural satisfaction for being inhibited to a system and an urge to occupy it lifelong is the outcome of a real great architect. The prevailing aspects of the relationships provided by architecture that stands or exists today are of modern urban, rural and flexibility. Besides, global consumerism and mobility the other factors that have transformed architecture to movable, adaptable, transformable modes are the availability of steels and weldable materials, easily mountable riveted structures, screwable members etc. which help to stabilize system by use of optimized energy and resources from nature. Contemporary architects with their unconventional architecture are trying ...

Tipologi Tenda Sebagai Studi Arsitektur Portabel

“…Bila pada dekade sebelumnya, arsitektur banyak dipahami sebagai keruangan yang bersifat terbatas, kaku, rigid dan formal; perubahan dan dinamika yang cepat menuntut lahirnya keruangan yang berbeda agar dapat mengisi atau melengkapi bangunan yang ada (Elmokadem, April 2018). Keruangan yang berbeda pada masa kini adalah keruangan yang dapat mengakomodasi perubahan, kecepatan, pergerakan, tren dan kehidupan berpindah (Anas, 2017). Keruangan sementara jenis ini perlu dapat bertransformasi, bahkan berevolusi dengan responsif agar dapat berpacu dengan waktu (gambar 1), khususnya untuk regenerasi (Olga, 2018).…”

“…Keruangan alternatif perlu menawarkan tipe yang berbeda dari yang umum; bila arsitektur secara konvensional dipersepsikan sebagai keruangan yang rigid, formal, statik dan permanen, keruangan alternatif yang banyak dikembangkan saat ini bersifat sementara, temporal, dinamis dan mudah berubah (Anas, 2017). Keruangan alternatif yang memiliki karakter ini salah satunya dikembangkan dari arsitektur portabel yang bersifat ringan, dapat ditekuk, diubah dan dibawabawa.…”

“…TIPOLOGI TENDA SEBAGAI STUDI ARSITEKTUR PORTABEL Rudy Trisno, et.al Maka dari itu, konsep arsitektur portabel masih memiliki karakter dominan sebagai ruang untuk kebutuhan berpindah dan bersifat tersier, daripada menekankan potensi atau konsepsi temporal sebagai ruang penting dalam keseharian. Potensi arsitektur portabel pada tenda terbukti dapat mengikuti jaman dan perlu diangkat untuk membuka peluang-peluang baru, yakni sebagai keruangan yang berbeda dan dapat bersifat esensial daripada sekedar untuk kebutuhan khusus saja (Anas, 2017). Maka dari itu untuk memperoleh materi utama dari tenda, elemen dan komponen fundamental tenda perlu diinvestigasi melalui tipologi.…”

Investigating the Important Factors of Use and Replacement of Thirsty Concrete Materials in Urban Development

“…In this park the pleasant sound of the duck pound fountain can be heard, also by strolling around the animals of the park zoo can be attractive for the visitors. In addition, children can have fun in the playground trampoline and carousel, furthermore the youngsters can gather around and enjoy them accompany, while the senior citizens have the possibility of playing backgammon and drinking coffee (Anas, D. and Nisar, Z. 2017).…”

Analysis of the Perception of Users of Pre-hospital Architecture in Light Steel Frame: ACase Study in Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…On this path, for Anas, Safiullah and Nisar [13], the LSF adds other factors that have transformed the architecture into something mobile, adaptable and transformable. According to these authors, today with the availability of light steel, screwable elements etc., which help to provide steel structures easily mountable and demountable, and in a simplified way, help to stabilize the constructive system, contemporary architects are trying to adopt these existing constructive systems in their projects.…”
