Real-time Responsive Spatial Systems: Design Driven Research Experiments in Interactive Architecture

The design-research experiments developed by Hyperbody, TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture, focus on the domain of Interaction design from a spatial perspective. These interactive spaces demonstrate a fusion between the material, electronic and digital domains, which interface with human behavior and associated dynamic activity patterns. Such spaces are visualized as complex adaptive systems, continually engaged in activities of data-exchange resulting in physical and ambient adaptations of their constituting components in response to contextual variations. Equally critical is the underlying interactive process involved in the creation of such dynamic architectural bodies. A collaborative and strategic co-evolution of technical knowledge between the Industry, Praxis, and Academic research gives shape to these interactive constructs, developing an information bridge between three critical knowledge sectors.
