“…The architectural design of a dynamic shading system starts from identifying the geometric shape of the device or the structure [48], along with a clear perception of the movements performed by its elements. These aspects must reflect the site requirements and respond to various climatic data, such as sun angles [52,53] or incident solar radiation daily and yearly [38].…”

The advancements in software and hardware technologies provide opportunities for solar shading systems to function dynamically within their context. This development has helped dynamic shading systems respond to variable environmental parameters such as sun angles and solar insolation. However, the technical understanding of system design, mechanism and controlling methods presents a challenge for architects and designers. Therefore, this study aims to review the current applications and trends of dynamic shading systems to clarify the potentials and limitations in enhancing system performance based on integrated design objectives. This study assessed several systems on the basis of a critical review to identify different models, applications and methodologies. This study is divided into two main sections: (i) design elements and platforms that engage with specific methods in creating a dynamic shading system and (ii) evaluation strategies to examine system performance. The systems were investigated based on the multiplicity and integration of the parameters involved through various components, such as architectural, mechanical, operational and automation components. The review analysed various studies on the following two bases: (1) geometric-based analysis, which distinguishes between simple and complex shading models, and (2) performancebased analysis, which assesses the shading systems based on two groups of methodologies, namely, theoretical and experimental. The outcome of the review reflects a clear classification of shading models and a comprehensive analysis of their performance. This study generally provides a systematic framework for architects based on thorough research and investigation. Finally, the study introduced several findings and recommendations to improve the performance of dynamic shading systems.

“…This implies above all, an iterative design process with repeated evaluation of suitability and aesthetic qualities." [28] Figure 12. Design process for kinetic architecture [28] Although the number of kinetic architecture applications is increasing today, it can be said that it is still in its infancy since it is costly and requires interdisciplinary expertise.…”

Today, developing technology and globalization change the cultures, lifestyles, and needs of societies. This change also impacts the expectations from architectural spaces. Spaces designed to perform a predetermined function may be insufficient to meet the changing needs over time. The aim of this study is to show the flexibility that the movable structural elements bring to the space. In this context, we propose integrating movable inner and outer shell structural elements to achieve specific functionality and meet the various functional capacity needs. In this study, a sample design was visualized to demonstrate the use of integrated kinetic building elements and was discussed its applicability with existing technologies and the advantages that it can provide. As a result, it was observed that kinetic building elements practically provide spatial flexibility and functional diversity in architectural design. In addition, the visuals show that the system is practical, applicable and efficient. Kinetic and flexible space design can be evaluated in "Generative and Parametric design" by means of to obtain variable solutions and functional sustainability according to different functional expectations from design.
