Kinetic Architecture Design Seminar (UO ARCH 407/507)

Four credits - Graded or Pass/No Pass.In this seminar, you will explore the world of architecture-in-motion. Apart from windows, doors and vertical conveyances, most buildings have few moving parts and are conceived of and built as static artifacts. Driven by issues of sustainability and the desire for adaptive control of building environments, kinetic architecture has emerged as an exciting sub-discipline in design and construction communities. Course work will include in-class presentations, site visits and field trips, and case studies.
