kinetic architecture by autoxic. “This building does not have a definite shape. It is always changed by the occupation of people. The lifted up ground creates interior space for conference, lecture hall, theater, etc. This building is a new type of the monument disigned by human activity.”
“Synetics is a system of construction which utilizes the compressive properties of structural materials to the fullest advantage. It may be employed in a wide variety of shapes, particularly “pneumatic” shapes and lattices. Synetic also refers to a tension-compression modeling system used to teach and explore principles of dynamic forces which apply to intangible and invisible structures. Synetics models the dynamics of structure in pure angle and frequency, in minimal, energetic and self-coordinating terms.” via Frederick G. Flowerday
